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.

I bet the weight sensor switch for the passanger seat was temporarily stuck ON. - (a6l6e6x) - (2) - March 2, 2021, 09:28:07 PM EST
