Big-ted 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Does anyone have any idea how the seatbelt warning light is activated? Mine never comes on, and, while I know it's a tiny problem, I like these things to work as they should. :) The bulb is definately fine, as it lights with a 9v battery connected directly accross the terminals, so I was thinking it's a sensor somewhere. Trouble is, the owners manual says it's spposed to come on if the door's left open also. Is it likely BOTH sensors have gone or is there a fuse/relay somewhere that I should check?

Supercharged 2 Posted February 26, 2005 I don't think it was standard fit on any UK cars? - you say you have the light, does it have a symbol underneath? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted February 26, 2005 I've not had one in my old 16v or my current VR? Never seen one on my mate's motors either - is it merely an option? Might be as rare as Dinkus' old headlight skooshers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-ted 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Bizarre! I'll stick a pick up tomorrow, but basically it's in the same block as the ABS warning light. There's three bulbs in there, one is the ABS light, one is to warn you when you're indicating and towing, the other is the seatbelt warning light. I'd say it was from another car (passat etc) and the PO fitted it, but the Corrado owners manual talks about all the above features as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Big-ted, is your car an import ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-ted 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Nope. If it wasn't standard equipment, it may just be that the PO fitted one from a Passat or something, and, as my car doesn't have the sensors, naturally the lights will never illuminate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-ted 0 Posted February 26, 2005 OK, is this not normal then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Judging by the marks around the light, I'd say it's been added. Probably come from a Passat or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 26, 2005 It's listed on ETKA but probaly mostly for the american market, what does the midle bit do - is that a trailor warning light? Looks like it's been replaced at somepoint looking at the screwdriver marks is the photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-ted 0 Posted February 27, 2005 Well, the screwdriver marks may have been my fault, as I've had it appart a few times now, as did the previous owner, but I have alwyays felt it "bulged out" a little more than it should. You can't really see in the pic, but it isn't quite as flush as the blanking plate at the bottom, which looks as though it should be the same shape. Supercharged, the middle bit is the seatbelt warning light. The left hand light is the ABS light, and the right hand side is a trailer warning light. I'm not sure if this is wired in either. I have had a towbar fitted to my car (the shame) but it's for a bike rack, so I don't have anything to test the electrics out with. I doubt it works.... Out of interest, what is ETKA and how do I use it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 27, 2005 They all bulge out for some reason... ETKA is the dealer parts system Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
