The seat belt light is going off but the seat belt is properly locked into position and the automatic seat belt is all the way back where it is supposed to be. Any suggestions on either turning it off or any easy affordable fix would be great. Thanks!!!

I am having the exact same problem on the exact same year and make of car. I have taken the car to different mechanics and they can't figure it out. Where is the belt racer located? I'm trying to get this fixed because the beeping noise drives me crazy going down the road.

Hello,

There is a automatic seat belt warning module that goes out in these cars which makes the chime go off.

Here is a wiring diagram so you can see if you unplug it the chine should stop. Then run some tests to make sure the module is getting signal the belt is in place if it is the module is bad, you should replace it to be safe. There are some fuses that need to be checked as well.

Here is a guide and a diagram to help you get started.

Suggested Repair

Check the microswitch at the end of the automatic belt track that senses the belt-on position; it is a double switch that also stops the belt motor. Check related fuses and the automatic seat belt warning module. Unplugging the module should stop the chime; if the module is receiving a belt-in-place signal and the warning continues, replace the module.

Conversation Summary

A 1991 Honda Accord owner reported the seat belt warning light staying on or blinking and beeping even with the belt latched and the automatic belt fully retracted. One expert suggested checking the belt-position microswitch at the end of the belt track. Another owner with the same car asked where that track is located. A second expert said the automatic seat belt warning module commonly fails, advised checking fuses and wiring, and recommended replacing the module if it receives a proper belt-in-place signal but the chime continues.
