Security light

Alright, after a bit of menuevering and a lot of time, I got the center console out and took a look down in there. I disconnected the wire the the red light that comes on on the console when the lever is raised. And disconnected this other wire what looked like it came from the lever mechanism.

Anyway, long story short, I reconnected those 2 wires, sprayed some wd-40 on the mechanism and a few other places as well (it couldn't huirt) and reassembled the console and yet again, only to find out that it still didn't do anything for the seatbelt.

One other thing, I tested both of the levers after I was done, and, just like before, neither of the seatbelts were phased by the levers.

It just popped on when I started the car. The car ran fine. I turned it off and on about 4x and it started each time fine.

I know what you're talkin about, but i'm not sure on how to check to make sure they are working.

But are you sure that it's not possible that when the a.C. Was worked on, that a wire may have been cut or disconnected and never reconnected? I mean, after taking all that apart, i've seen the different parts and where the wires are routed through. And so far you've helped me troubleshoot everything. And the only thing I can see that's left is the wiring. And if I take out the dash, and see that it's not the wiring, I don't know whether to just forget about it or take it to a shop.

Yeah I did that. I haven't done anything that you haven't told me.

I was talking about my grandma had the a.C. Worked on and they took out the dash to do it. This was a few years before I even got this car.

Thank you. What do I need to do now? Purchase another key? My spare key that I've never used since I got the car 5 years ago didn't help. The light was still on. Am I not going to be able to start my car eventually?

The most common reason is the wire going to the ignition cylinder breaking.

If im interpreting thins correctly, then what it is, is actually not the dash. It's just a part of the interior trim?

And if that's so. Then that means, i've taken that off plenty of times before. That thing just reveals the track in which the seatbelt is guided through.
