I dont mean to steal this thread but would a constant seat belt light have any meaning to something like a loose belt(cant think of anything off the top of my head)?

There are sensors for the seat belt, they can go bad.

The sensor could be bad, or a loose wire. Is it when you turn both directiosn, or only one?

if your brake light is constantly on it means you have low brake fluid.

could also be a stuck float in the brake master, or a stuck switch in the hand brake assembly.

No, that would be the "Stop" light/warning in the idiot light panel.
