Today when I cranked my truck, the seat belt light came on (I was
buckled up).  Further checking, I found that the light goes out the way
it's supposed to whn you start it, and then several seconds later comes
back on and stays on, the chimes never come on.  I haven't done anything
to the truck recently that would cause this to happen (changed the oil,
and rotated the tires is about it).  Anyone have any idea why this would
start to happen?  Worse case, I guess I can go behind the dash and
disable it, but I'd really prefer to fix it correctly.

Thanks,

Dave Young

I took a short trip just now and I don't think my seatbelt chimes work
anymore (my headlight and key chime still works).  Is there a separate
chime for the seatbelt?  I'm wondering if the chime is defective and the
computer recognizes it and turns the seatbelt light on....

There is a box under the center seat that controls the seatbelts. Make sure
it is plugged into both seats. I pulled that box out and found that the
seatbelts dont extend unless it is plugged in. While the box was unplugged
the light stayed on.
