    Interior buzzing and seatbelt light flicker

    Hi all

    While driving the past couple of days i have noticed that while driving or going over a bump or just normal driving on the interstate, that the headlamp switch is making an odd buzzing noise. When i jiggle it, it goes away, sometimes it lingers, sometimes its it stays on and will go away on its own.

    I am not sure what this is as I was not aware of any noise making aparati or moving parts for that matter in the headlamp switch/plunger assembly.

    The switch is from a 91 model year. Has anyone else experienced this? Might it just be a bad electrical connection? At the same time as this happens, the seatbelt warning light comes on in the check panel above. Not sure if this is related or not but the timing seems to be the same as when this noise occurs.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated

    thanks!

    The seatbelt light seems to flash and blink alot now while driving. Its just random. Like it flickers in normal driving on and off. I didn't think this light activated unless the car was started and the seatbelt sensor was not reporting true. Just flashes all the time now

      anyone know where the seatbelt light on the check panel is connected to? Anywhere a connection that could be loose for that to be flickering? Its now everytime i drive and starts to flicker over normal road bumps
