Safety belt light......
My safety belt light is comming on and off intermitently when driving. I am the only one in the car and I wear my belt. I don't know what to search for so I just descided to post this. It will flicker, phase in and out, and other various ways of lighting up and turning off. :/
Any ideas as to what is wrong/defective/broken will be greatly appreciated.

All the other lights work. E-brake, fuel, hatch, door, etc The only one I haven't seen work in a while is the exhaust overheat light but that is not supposed to light up normally.
I have wanted to do the joints in the CPU but I am lazy and bussy :/ I gues I will take parts car's CPU and swap it in
see what happens.

Santiago, it's the Idiot Guage cluster. Mine does the same exact thing.. every once in a while. I'll go over a bump and the light will come on for a while. than go away. Either resolder the idiot guage cluster, or buy a "good used"
P.S, and yes, i do use my saftey belt

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
Idiot light cluster is where I would check first (remember when you re-solder you must remove the old solder first, then flow new solder in- you can not just flow new solder onto the joint and expect it to work)
but then I would pull the seat and check the wiring at the seat belt plug.
Kinda an easy way to see if it is the switch though is to see if the seat belt buzzer is coming on. If it is, then the problem is probably the switch... if it doesn't then the problem is probably the idiot light panel.
but then I would pull the seat and check the wiring at the seat belt plug.

The only noise that I hear when in the car is when I open the door ant the key is still in the ignition.
Is this buzzer in the CPU?

There are two circular sensors that are inside the plastic part of the seatbelt cluster located under the center console. What happends is over time these circular sensors wear down and it thinks your seatbelt is not pulled out to be worn. What you can do is disconnect the electrical connector that goes into this seatbelt cluster and create a jumper wire into the other plug so the car always thinks the seatbelt is pulled out. This will get rid of any beeps and the seatbelt light will stop coming on. The seatbelt light will stay on for a few seconds when you initially start your car but then quickly turn off.
