Seat belt light on crack

[skyhighZJ]

1998 dodge ram 2500
Insert key and start engine
No seat belt light. After about 10 seconds the light comes on. It’s just a reminder light and has nothing to do with the belt being buckled or not. I’ve tried wiggling all the wires and the buckle and it’s like the timer for the warning light is backwards.

Any ideas?

Mine was on all the time when I got it. It was unplugged under the seat. Plugged it back in and it worked correctly for a number of years. Now it comes and goes, and wiggling the buckle will cause it to go on/off. I am assuming the light is looking for a ground path through the belt, but havent put that much energy into it.

Mine didn't even work.

Mine didn't even work.

I would prefer that option honestly.

It's searching for a ground, could be in the dash, could be on the belt assemble, in the buckle. If'n it ain't dinging, I'd not worry about it. Unless that is, you need/want that reminder.
