Re: Seat belt sign is on even though I'm wearing the seat belt

Oh yeah! That, too! ;)

Coins are the most common culprit.

Added to my bag 'o tricks! ;)

I remember meeting with a customer with the same complaint with a car that was about 2 months old and still within the warranty coverage period. The dealer wanted to charge him a diagnostic fee since they suspected that something fell into the receptacle, but the customer refused to authorize a diagnostic fee since he thought that everything should be covered under warranty. I looked at the car, saw something in the receptacle, and fished it out with the tweezers from my Swiss Army Knife. I told the customer that he was lucky that Toyota didn't charge customers for my services, and he still thought that the car was defective because someone from the factory in Japan had to have dropped the foreign object in there. He clammed up when I showed him the "foreign" object, a NH toll token and I politely explained that it was unlikely that a Japanese factory worker would have NH toll tokens in their pocket.

He just wanted to cover up for his company...

I'm too cheap to sacrifice a token for the cause!

If the coin was Japanese, the story would have been a little different!
