Re: Corolla seatbelt warning incorrect (sometimes) |
|
|
Could you please post some info on where this switch is (is it in the
little snap on / click unit in which the seatbelt clip clicks ?) and if
possible where I can buy the replacement. I'm having the same problem
and want to find a solution. Any possibility of posting the info on the
documents you found ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

the belt.hope someone can tell us the correction
The part that is defective is the seatbelt retractor switch. I have not
"gone in" yet but all I plan to do on mine is disable the switch since I am
the only driver and after driver over 30 years with a seatbelt I don't
really need to be reminded. If you need the indicator to work correctly
you will need to replace the seatbelt retractor switch or try to repair it.
Two separate documents describe the switch as open and closed with seatbelt
worn so I don't yet know if I will need to unplug the switch or unplug then
jump the connector.

Look inside the seat belt recepticle and remove the foreign object lodged in
there.

Yes.
No. Not on a 1999 Corolla Le.
The switch is part of the seatbelt roller (retractor) which is near the
bottom of the door post behind some plastic cowling. It is called a
seatbelt retractor switch.

Hmmm... How does the seat belt know if it is actually properly latched or
not?

It doesn't! Pull it out enough and it is happy! Clicked or not, doesn't
matter. And then switches (at least mine) go bad!
Hey, I love my Corolla so 1 or 2 stupid things don't bother me much. |

You could unplug the wire from the roller and jump the connections with a
piece of wire (the plug is on the side of the roller which faces the back
seat.
OR
You could purchase a new part which may be the entire roller assembly and
expensive. |

You sure that that switch on the 'roller' doesn't have to do with |
the belt tensioner?, the one that snaps you back in your seat if
you hit something...you say it's called a 'seatbelt retractor
switch'...sounds more like something used in a 'tensioner
circuit' to me...

I have the same problem with the 98 corolla LE. The light on/off when or
when not the seat belt is off/on. I have unplugged the switch in the
seat belt retractor area and the light remains on and I plug it in and
it is not relible. Do you suppose it could be not a good connection??
Also when my DRL are on the instrument panel lights are on and when I
monkeyed with the seat belt switch I noticed that the instrument panel
lights were off when the DRL was on.

The most likely cause of the seat belt light problem is a foreign object in |
the receptacle.
