I'm working out all the little bugs on my Montero and I'm wondering if anyone can help me diagnose & repair the drivers side seat belt switch. It has never worked as long as I've had my Montero (10+ yrs) so I'm not even sure what it is supposed to do but I'm guessing when the seat belt is not fastened a dash light would be illuminated and possibly a chime would sound? Well on mine I know the dash light is good as it lights up with key in "on" position. With engine on, stationary or moving, unfastening the seat belt does nothing. I've traced it back to the first connector (D-17 (2) Seat belt switch from page 80-14 in the service manual) and still no luck. I tried closing the circuit at the connector (a good way to bypass the actual seat belt switch) with a jumper but that doesn't trigger anything. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Thanks!
