Strad first issue

[conaero]

Before I go searching through the car, I have a nagging issue on the Strad that has been getting steadily worse.

Its the occasional seatbelt warning light and buzzer going off.

At first I thought it was the passenger seat thinking it had someone in it but not wearing the seatbelt but I think it is the drivers seat.

Yesterday it was going off repeatedly, I fiddled with the buckle and in the end yanking the belt seemed to stop it.

Anyone got any pointers for I go dismantling the d@mn thing?

Have you tried to cabling under the seats? Admittedly it's a different car, but I had a similar fault with the connectors under the seat of my 3200 and they just needed a wiggle and some contact cleaner spray

Well, Ill wait for my fellow forum members and so called mates to reply to that one but I am somewhere in the middle at 5'10" and fluctuate between 13~13.5 stone.

My seatbelt warning light went off in my GT when I had a crate of beer on the passenger seat the other day. Most odd.
And then I realised the car was concerned for the welfare of my beer.

Which was nice.

Cut the wires to the buzzer and some tape over the lights, sorted ! Aha

Im 13 stone Matt . You better get some new scales

Matt on the 3200 there is a connector which you can disconnect for the warning chime. Check for a small connector running to the belt clip.

Its probably the microswitch in the buckle that has failed, ill give it a spray up first.

Looks like there is a wire from the seat belt clasp (Item 9) that it probably the suspect, Ill check it out.

"Deoxit" spray is the dogs testicles when it comes to contact cleaner.

Remind me never to buy a car off beau Everything will be reconditioned , cut or taped up. But it will look great!

To be fair, a blade of grass is fat compared to you. First time I met you I couldn't see you until you turned to face me.....

My scales are cheaper because they only have to go up to 10 stone
