My truck started doing something strange.
When I get in it, start it, put my belt on, the dash light goes out after about a minute. When I start driving, the chime will go off every 30 seconds for the next 5 minutes. Should I have it looked at, at the dealer, or simply deactivte the chime using the instructions in the manual? Thanks!

Hmmm

Actually the deactivate won't work as it's not sensing the closed buckle.
 






Burnt airbag light
 






Too late to check now but you are saying to check the dash airbag light at startup? If there is no light then that is the problem? Thanks!

Mitch
 






Yup
 






Airbag light functional

The airbag dash light illuminates then goes out after about 10 seconds on startup. What next? Appointment at the dealer in order? Thanks!

I think it is a little premature in the troubleshooting process for the end-all solution of dealer appointment.


First, try and see what happens if you buckle the seatbelt before you insert the key and start it up.

Then see hat happens when you just unplug the wire.
 






Jayton-I buckled the belt before inserting the key to start.
What wire r u talking about? Thanks.

The chime doesn't start until the belt dash light goes out.
