Hello
So I’ve been trouble shooting my Fasten Belts for a few days and not sure if I’m actually chasing a problem. With the ignition key in the off position and the key out with closed or open doors the light stays lightly dim. Thoughts?  |

Your door switches are worn or not connected correctly assuming you have a 73 or later. |

Do you happen to have a picture of where the wires connect on the switches ? Thanks Nacho |

@nacho
I have extra switches if you need. One of mine was bad. Also if the connectors break and it touches the body, it will also mess up the whole circuit; dome light, buzzer...... |

Two are for the buzzer and seatbelt and IIRC the others are for the dome ligjt. Test the switch continuity first with a DVM before the goose chase starts. |

I did have a switch that was being a bit of a pain, and I'm not confident its working correctly. I'll give you a buzz. Thanks |

I'm thinking ground issue....
If ground connections are not good on car, electricity will find its own way to ground. When that happens things don't work right. Matt |

Simple fix, set the trigger 12v signal (to the bulb) to a hobbs (manifold) switch, set activation at 1 bar boost ! Make sure to belt-up

So far things are pointing at a bad drivers door switch. Tomorrow I will be swapping the switch out. If that is the problem then I'm one step closer to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
