well I'm glad I have a lot of patience and that my frustrations haven't broke me down just yet. when I place the key in the ignition the "fasten seat belt light" comes on before I even start the engine, if I remove the key te light turns off. It remains on after the engine is started and driving. Now I have two dash lights on, the A/T and fasten seat belt light. any suggestions on what I can check for the fasten seat belt light and should I prepare myself for more dash lights to remain on. It seems like one thing after another is starting to occur?

Disconnect the driver's side seat belt connector under the center console. I hate idiot lights like that.

If you want to leave the sensor connected, there may be a fault in the female part of the seatbelt clicker thingy, nothing a little searching with a flashlight and WD40 may not solve though. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Mine was like that when I bought it. Investigation showed that apparently the guys at the dealer that did the recall work on the seatbelt cut the wires... I ended up disconnecting it as previously mentioned since I'm religious about fastening my seatbelt before starting the engine...

thanks, I will disconnect it.

chances are though, if it comes on when you put key in ignition without turning it, there is a wiring issue somewhere. often times, aftermarket junkies try installing all kinds of aftermarket wiring devices from sound systems to remote starters and if they don't know what they are doing, they may have messed up some wiring. your fasten seatbelt light should never come on just by placing the key in the ignition, only when it is turned to on should it light. you have a wiring issue, you need to roll up your sleeves and take apart your dash and look for anything that doesn't look factory and restore the wiring system back to factory configs.

Yes, after looking under the dash, it does appear the previous owner has done some mod's to the wiring. One thing I noticed he did is, that for relay switches under the dash and hood each of these connections has some type of white glue/puddy substance around plastic piece that connects to each wiring harness. It looks like he was using this stuff to hold the connection together or something. I will take some pic's later and show you what I am referring too.
