i got in my o2 this morning, started it up and all of the sudden the "FASTEN SEAT BELT" light and buzzer comes on! never had i heard/seen it work! and the ones in the 2 bavarias i had never worked either. i can't figure out why it started to work. it was buzzing spuratically and when would accelerate it would stay on steady. i was late for an appointment so i had to drive 10 minutes with this buzzing. kinda funny. i took off the cover and disconnected it. but does anyone know where the connection is to activate this doohickey? i seem to recall there being a connection to the seatbelt or somewhere under the seat but no idea why it would act the way it did when i accelerated or even start to work in the first place. i have not made any recent changes to any thing electrical in a while.

anyone have any input on this? i wouldn't mind if it worked properly.

thanks

Any chance you might be dipping into the easter chocolate supply a little too much? ; )

one might think. that would explain the buzzing but no i haven't. it actually happened.

The belt lamp & buzzer on my 74 sporadically light-off, sometimes together, sometimes one or the other. There is no rhyme or reason. My belt can be on or off and it doesn’t matter. The buzzer isn’t actually a buzzer, it is more a warbley death moan of a very weak stray cat. I normally deactivate the buzzers on all my vehicles, but this one is so pitiful and random, it is somehow charming. So I have kept it wired up...so far at least.

It should be under the passenger seat.

There is a sensor in both front seat cushions. As the horsehair padding wears out, the sensor(s) will eventually wear (or their wires will) and short out. That fools the warning light and buzzer (whiner?) to activate.

Look under your front seats and locate the wires hanging down from 'em. Disconnect the wires from the car's harness and tape any bare ends. That should end the ghost moaning...

If you want to disable the whole thing permanently, pull up the fuse box and look at fuse 11 that serves the instruments and other things. On the underside of the fuse box there's a wire plugged into fuse 11 that isn't in the factory wiring diagram. It's what feeds the whole seat belt warning system and the seat belt interlock. Disconnect that wire, tape it up out of the way and you'll never have that problem again.

I used to have lights in my kitchen that only worked just before a thunder storm.
