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.

The reservoir is at max. Is there somewhere else?

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.
