Default Disconnecting the seat belt indicator on a 94 Sentra - 07-23-2006 , 05:02 PM






Hi,

I had a quick question on disconnecting a automatic seat belt warning
buzzer on my 94 Sentra. My seat belt indicator (and the annoying
buzzer) would go off for no reason while driving in a city (must be the
turns and the bumps..). I don't think it is due to any mistake with the
belts themselves or the sensors but a loose or faulty wire/switch.

Since I didn't want to run around with a multimeter and pull on every
connection under the seat, I thought I'll just bypass the indicator by
pulling out one of the connectors under my seats. There are two white
connectors under each seat. I found that when I disconnected one of
them (the larger one) the seat belt sign would come on when I started
the car and go off after blinking 3 or 4 times (and it never came on
while driving). During the entire process there was no annoying buzzing
sound.

Now my question. Does anybody know if there'll be any other side
effects to my disabling the seat belt warning system in this manner? If
the wire is not connected to any other system in the car, this seems
like a perfect solution to the entire seat belt problem.

There have been a lot of questions on this indicator problem on this
group. This could be one solution.

Thanks.
Thiaga

I had the same problem with the automatic seat belts of my 94 maxima.

There is a reed switch, closed by a magnet when the belt was in the
driving position, which had a cold solder fail. I resoldered the wire
and that took care of the problem.

I had the same problem and you should be happy to know that most nissan
dealers will fix this for free, it seems anything pertaining to the
seatbelts is free for as long as the car is in use, it took them about
3 hrs to fix mine, total cost $0. Even though I am the 5th owner of the
car, it is under warranty. Might wanna call your dealer
