Seatbelt Indicator Inoperative

NOTE: After making any repairs, perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  1. Turn the ignition off. Perform the instrument cluster self test. If the seat belt indicator illuminated, go to step  3 . If the seat belt indicator did not illuminate, go to the next step.
  2. Turn the ignition off. Remove the instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Remove the inoperative indicator. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BULBS & LEDS under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article. Using a DVOM, select DIODE MODE, and attach the leads across the LED. Ensure that the Red lead is on the positive of the LED. If the LED illuminated, go to next step. If the LED did not illuminate, replace the seat belt indicator LED.
  3. Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the instrument cluster harness connector. Disconnect the seat belt switch harness connector. Measure the resistance of the seat belt indicator circuit. If the resistance is less than 5.0 ohms, go to next step. If the resistance is more than 5.0 ohms, repair the seat belt indicator circuit for an open.
  4. Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the seat belt switch harness connector. Measure the resistance between ground and the seat belt switch ground circuit. If the resistance is less than 5.0 ohms, go to next step. If the resistance is more than 5.0 ohms, repair the seat belt switch ground circuit for an open.
  5. Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the seat belt switch harness connector. Measure the resistance of the seat belt switch between the indicator circuit pin and the ground circuit pin. If the resistance is less than 5.0 ohms, replace the instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article. If the resistance is more than 5.0 ohms, replace the seat belt switch.
