Seatbelt icon disappears

[AeroGrace]

It just occured to me the other night that i noticed the seatbelt icon on my dash(little dude with the seatbelt-on sign) doesn't come on anymore...

cos normally when the driver's side seatbelts aren't buckled in the icon will light up etc etc....now nothing at all....

Anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas what's going on?

thanks;)

check the plug under your seat is plugged in

i thought that the seatbelt fastened feature was removed and seatbelts replaced during compliance?

No only the rear belts are changed. Front ones are factory. Yea check the electrical connection under the seat and then the bulb in the Dash. If that doesn't fix it,,,give up it's not worth working out.

Pretty sure mine has been changed then, i have had 2 skylines and both times no seatbelt light, are their supposed to be wires, or a connector coming from the seatbelt?

cheers

For a proper compliance, ALL seat belts must be replaced to meet Australian standards.

This is not to say that Jap. seat belts are not good, just that the government needs to raise the salaries some how.

Mine still has the seatbelt light.

i want the light!! you guys reckon there would be a way to hook it up?

has anyone check their belts with those from a wreckers without change made!! see if those plugs do actually plug into the clips?

I want the factory seatbelts! Well at least for the front, who cares about the rear passengers

Incidentally, even though my car was registered as a 4 seater, the compliancers nicely left the middle factory seatbelt in place, but under the seat. The previous owner probably didn't even know they were there

Does anyone know if the S14/15 200SX front seatbelts are the same as the R33's? It might be a good way to get some nicer seatbelts legally. Ones that use the seatbelt light, retract properly, and have that plastic thing to hold the belt off your shoulder.

[Craved]

at least ive got the bit to hold the belt out from the shoulder, might look into it though!

Sorry guy's I should have worded my reponse a little better,,,,what I meant to say is the Fronts have to be changed as well,,,but It's quite legal for the Compliancer to buy New Factory Belts and install them. Thats how most of us still have the light working on the dash. Go check the white tag on your front belts,,,,Mine has Genuine Nissan belts with a built date on it,,being 2001.

Ndr, how much are the new belts worth? Probably several hundred each

JimX,,,I have no idea but mine have 2001 stamped on them and they have to be factory belts,,,.I'm thinking though if the tongue of the actual belt is the same as the buckles (this is what turns the light on and off) then you would only need to buy the buckle. Why not pop out to Justjap and ask them,,,,they might/should have buckles,,,you could try one.
