2000 Focus Issue?

2000 Focus Issue?
The seat belt light comes on when you start the car even if front seat belts are both latched then goes off for 45 seconds. Then the seat belt light comes on and the dinger starts, light and dinger go back off for 45 seconds then both go on and off continuously every 45 seconds.

Is there possibly an easy fix or does this require a dealer visit?

most likely a problem in the drives side seat belt latch. tough to take apart and clean , you should be able to jump the two wires together coming out of the female buckle side at the car harness side and see if the light goes out .

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Try to blow out the female side of the latch with some compressed air then squirt a small amount of electrical connection cleaner in it and see if it stops.probably just something inside not letting it send the signal.

on my 03 f-150, i was able to just unplug the connector going into the seat belt from the floor.. and the seat belt dinger doesnt go off.. I know if I have my seat belt on, i dont need the car to tell me.. and when i'm going 9mph through a hay field I aint going to wear one.. and dont want to listen to that crap..
