    Has anyone had the seatbelt light flicker on and off while driving?

    So as the title says, im having the seatbelt light in t he checkpanel flicker on and off under normal driving conditions, but most notably when i drive over a bump or something.

    It will flicker and then sometimes stay on, then go off. Never seen it before and don't know what it could be attributed to

    any help would be great

    thanks

    Check the connector under the seat. I've noticed that, on some seats, the associated wires were routed up into the seat springs and such, could be chafed and have frayed wires.

      Yea i've been checking that, but the connector is intact, the plastic plug is still on the wire and no fraying as far as I can tell. That was one of the first places i checked. My seatbelt receptor wire is cut but the wire going to the chassis wiring harness is intact. Very frustrating as it just started happening recently
