Seat Belt Warning Light/Buzzer

[coolio2281]

hey guys, i gotta 1993 ford bronco eddie bauer with the 5.8, iam trying to redo all the wiring in my truck to origional, i want to make my seat belt warning light/buzzer to start working again but its not working what so ever...any ideas? i re-wired the connection at the end of the seat belt so i kno thats not where it is at...any idea's would greatly be appreciated

Does it chime with the key in door open? Mine only rings for the first couple seconds, but its the same dinger as the key in door open, and lights on door open.

 

[coolio2281]

doesnt chime unless i have the lights on, and the door open...where should i check it out at?

 

[50joe]

if it doesnt chime with the key in and door open, there is a little contact on the lock cylinder. If you turn the key to "ON", push the little button directly on the bottom, "a straight pic or sometimes a skinny pen will do this, with the covers still on", and pull the lock cylinder out, there is a contact in there. They either go bad or fall out all the time. It looks like a small spring tab that sits in the column, right where the lock cyl slides in. Just out of curiosity, do you really miss the five seconds on start up it rings? or just want to know when the key is in?

to be honest, iam trying to restore this thing to origional...i never had it when the thing worked so i wouldnt know..it doesnt bother me...plus its something to do..haha are what u talking about a little metal tab? that sits in the ignition? i know what u are talking about and mine is no in there right now...that is the problem?

iam trying to get the seatbelt warning light/buzzer to work

 

[50joe]

Yeah, if you pull the lock cylinder out, right at the 6 or 7 o'clock position there should be a lil spring tab that rests on the lock cylinder when its installed. that runs the dinger when the key is in. But since you mentioned it, I have never noticed a seat belt light on the dash when I start it. It will ding five times, and I never hear it again. Maybe mine doesn't work either? I never wear those anyway...LOL. When I had my 02 pickup, i reprogrammed the BCM to shut that thing off. LOL

 

[50joe]

(So how many people do you think just ran outside to check to see if they had one?)

 

[coolio2281]

haha nice...hey thanks again man i appreciate it, ill let u kno if i get er to work again

 

[50joe]

haha nice...hey thanks again man i appreciate it, ill let u kno if i get er to work again

now ya got me wonderin....LOL

 

[coolio2281]

haha u better go check it out then haha

 

[coolio2281]

by the way there is a seat belt light on the instrument cluster...haha

 

[50joe]

Since you mentioned it, that a simple yet probably WAY overlooked detail, especially if you are restoring it. good to point it out

 

[coolio2281]

hey that did fix my door open chime, but not the seat belt problem...any suggestions on that? my light doesnt turn on or anything

 

[shift1313]

Im not sure how it is setup in a 93 but is it possible its related to vehicle speed? Say over 15mph the light comes on? I am in no way condoning driving without a seat belt but i'm just throwing that out there. I cant remember a time in any of my fords that i have seen the seat belt light(except during an electrical malfunction) but I never move without it on so I have no basis.

good luck with it.

yo,

Seat Belt Warning Chime Module and Wiring

Check Connector, etc. on each bucket or bench seat belt where it mts to floor pan

17 — To Warning Buzzer Chime View is from engine side

And as Joe advised already;

Chime. "the buzzer is directly to the right of the steering colum under the dashboard. it is a white box about 3X1X1/2 inches; if you have a higer trim package (XLT or higher, however my XL E150 has it) there is a "reminder package" it sounds the chime when the lights are left on, the vehicle is off and the door is opened. If you are having trouble with it not working or working intermittently then it's probably the tumbler. (the piece the key goes into)."

i took the cover off where the drivers side seat belt is wound up under the rear speaker and it was corroded more than anything ive seen on this truck so far i took it apart and re wired it...but still if i drive even at 25 mph the seat belt light still doesnt come on...am i wrong thinking that...or do these trucks actually start chimeing with the seatbelt off? the light nor the chime come on if iam driving without a seat belt..reason i want this to work is my nephew is learning to drive on this truck and he absolutely hates that chime so what better way to break in wearing a seat belt? plus i really want to restore all the chime's and lights to origional

 

[50joe]

I looked at mine, and it only comes on few a few seconds when I start the truck. Never comes on when I'm driving, and I don't wear the belt.

 

[coolio2281]

ok cool...thanks 50joe mines good then haha..now i need to find another problem so i can have something to do haha
