DESCRIPTION





All vehicles are equipped with a driver side seat belt switch that is a small, normally open, single pole, single throw, leaf contact, momentary switch. The driver side seat belt switch is integral to the buckle (1) of the driver side front seat belt buckle, which is located on a stamped steel stanchion secured by a screw (3) to the inboard side of the driver side front seat cushion frame.

The seat belt switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a two-lead pigtail wire and connector (4) on the seat belt buckle-half, which is connected to a wire harness connector and take out of the seat wire harness routed beneath the driver side front seat cushion in the passenger compartment.

The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire driver side front seat belt buckle-half unit must be replaced.
