Seat belt warning light.

My 92' has recently developed an annoying problem. The seat belt warning light stays on.
It was intermittent but now it just stays on.
I'm pretty sure the guilty belt is the passenger side but I have no idea where the sensor would be.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Seat belt warning light.

Good question!

Where is that 'bum' sensor?

Mine has never worked - the opposite of your dilemma, but the same cause I assume.

Any pictures or diagrams available?

Re: Seat belt warning light.

Is your auto belt latched in on the passenger side? My light is always on if it is unlatched, so I just leave it latched in. It never occurred to me that the sensor might be bad...

Re: Seat belt warning light.

Yes Cam, the auto belt is latched when the light is on.
And, no I haven't checked for a code yet.
