Corolla seatbelt warning incorrect (sometimes)

Outsider · 2005-05-11T20:13:38+00:00

I seem to remember seeing this in relation to a Sienna but I am not 100% sure. The seatbelt indicator on my 1999 Corolla LE is sometimes off when the belt is not pulled out and off when the belt is pulled around me [this is correct] but at other times it is OFF when the belt is fully retracted and BLINKING when wrapped around me (and clicked, of course). Having never driven without a seatbelt for the last 32 years the light is quite an irritant. If I pull the belt out just a little bit further the light goes off again so I guess I could gain another 10 pounds or so!Does anyone know anything about this? Will it affect my side/front airbag deploy? Any other info appreciated.Andy

I have the same problem with the 98 corolla LE. The light on/off when or when not the seat belt is off/on. I have unplugged the switch in the seat belt retractor area and the light remains on and I plug it in and it is not relible. Do you suppose it could be not a good connection??

Also when my DRL are on the instrument panel lights are on and when I monkeyed with the seat belt switch I noticed that the instrument panel lights were off when the DRL was on.

The most likely cause of the seat belt light problem is a foreign object in the receptacle.
