Sun blinding, traffic all around, Lanes coming and going, I've never been in this section of highway before. Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!!!! What the f***. I go insane for about 2 minutes trying to figure out what's going on while not dying and I realize that the passenger seat belt alarm was going off. With no passenger in the seat. It just decided to go now. Click the belt in and all better.

Although clicking the seatbelt could have made that OK. But, it could be the seatbelt needs to be stretched so as not permit people to sit unbelted on an otherwise latched seatbelt. Briefly pressing down on the seat might have reset the weight sensor. Just a thought. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

The only thing that seemed to help was turning the car of and waiting for a half an hour. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

No dinging, fortunately, just a flashing light in the instrument pod. Usually, pulling the belt out all the way (while buckled) and letting it retract eventually gets it to turn off. Not always, though. It always raises our blood pressure when we go to get the thing inspected... Cheers, Scott.
