Seat belt light

[BakPak]

Small things like this really bug me sorry!
When I have my seat belt fitted the light on the dash still comes on intermittently, so annoying lol.
I was thinking of crossing the wires coming off the anchor bit???
Any better ideas please.

turn it off in vcds .
Same as the seat belt chime which drives me bonkers so turned it off in vcds,job done.

You could disable the warning using VCDS/OBDeleven/Carista

My mate who owned it before me put up with the chimes until it died.
It would have done my head in for a day!@

Is it the passenger seat causing it to come on? Very little weight is needed to show the light. A small bag or bottle of drink will do it

 

[Charlie Farley]

Its the passenger seat occupancy sensor , it's linked to the seat belt and passenger airbag if fitted, if there is no bum on seat or suffeceint weight it will ping up , air bag wont work either .

 

[Charlie Farley]

just turn it off with vcds.

Ok I have the Ross Tech kit so I've now got my first "easy" task to stop the red seat belt light on the dash.
Please help.

 

[Charlie Farley]

you can disable the alert and the chime , I did it some time ago.

I know, I'll keep exploring. If you remember how to do it please let me know...
