Help on Intermittant Warning Light

[SixPac]

I have a 2001 2500, 4X4, 1,580 mi. For the last three days I have noticed the "Seat Belt" light, on the dash panel, lighting intermittently.



Normally the light would light if you didn't have your seat belt connected. Under normal circumstances, it shuts off immediately after connecting the seat belt.



I have not been able to duplicate the intermittent activity by "jiggling" the belt or pulling on it etc.



Does anyone know how the circuitry on this system operates? It is very difficult for me to get my truck back to the dealer, especially for such a minor problem. I would love to fix it, espicially if it is just a loose connection, etc.



Has anyone else run into this type of problem?



Thank you for your help!

Do a search of threads. About a month ago several of us discussed this issue. There is a harness that goes to the receiver on your seat belt. A switch detects the latch insertion. On the other side, there is a switch that detects the belt has in fact been pulled off the recoil system. In both cases, the hardware has to be replaced. Supposedly, there is no switch only repair. Search on the threads. My light doesn't light so... ...
