Seat belt reminder - Page 2

Mike Trident · 22nd September 2018, 13:20

No I never forget to put it on. Having been a driving instructor for many years it's second nature. I noticed the silence when I just moved my car across a big car park, and didn't bother putting on the belt. I just thought it strange that on a car such as this it didn't have a reminder.

Was not connecting them together part of the money saving project drive lol

Does anybody know the fuse nr for this on a mk2 ZT?TA

Requires two things for the warning light to work:

Wiring present in the car (not always)
Two connectors on the seat belt pre tensioners (2nd connector wasn't standard on UK models). Available from Rimmers for 55 quid or eBay for a lot less.

I considered getting the correct pre tensioner for the warning light to work then thought what's the point

My Mazda 6 has audible seat warnings for both front seats and it is a hateful feature that I would love to disable. Cannot see why anyone would want to retrofit!

I bought some heated electric alcantara seats from a R75 on ebay. (Never saw a R75 with the sports seats!) I fitted them and spent 2 days trying to get rid of the air bag light until I realised the light was the seatbelt warning light!

The donor car must have been an export model but never made it!

I am with you on this, I have to move cars all the time and it gets so annoying something beeping at you and getting louder in some cases if you don't buckle up just to move a car a 100yds in a yard or car park.

I have been driving for 39 years and compulsory seat belts were introduces about 3 or 4 years after I started driving but if find it the next thing I do after I start a car without being reminded to do it.

I can remember cars with one wiper (or no wiper), no heater, pull up windows, a choke and real glass windows! I hate electrics and electronics (despite my technology degree) and would love to drive a "simple" car again. One with grease nipples (hope the naughty filter can cope with that word)!
