seatbelt control timer module problem!

[jspurlo]

Had an electrical parasite that we couldn't find, took it to the dealer {) and they said it's the module for the seatbelt release solenoids. This control module is located underneath the center seat. What the heck is this thing and can it be disconnected? Do I need it? Anyone else dealt with this?

This thing draws over 420 MA!

Dealer wants $125 for part and I can't find it for cheaper, guess it's one of those "dealer-only" parts.

thanks very much,

Jessie

Yes You Need The Controler Or The Sholder Harness Wont Pull Out From The Seat Backs (quad Cab Only)

Timer Stays On For 30 Min. after

Doors Are Closed Befor Going To Sleep , You Can Test This By Closing The Dors With The Windows Down , After 30 Min. Sholder Harness Wont Pull Out , Useed On 98 & 99 Years Only

Huh dang rocks :-laf . The module that I knew of that times out with most electronics in the truck (and a huge headache sometimes) was the CTM.
