The seat belt lamp on the dash and Buckle Seatbelt warning are coming on and off in the wifes Suburban, just started yesterday. Does anyone know if there is a seatbelt switch that can be replaced, where it is? Part numbers?

Thanks,
Matt

Check the buckle and strap first. Under the seat should be a connector leading from the buckle strap, exiting the cover at the floor.. Disconnect and check with a VOM (continuity). It should be open unbuckled, then closed when buckled. Continuous flexing can wear/chafe/break the wire running along the strap, or at flex points. If the strap/buckle flaps loosely (from a lot of use/movement), it's almost certainly the problem.

Thanks Maverick,

I will check it out, seat gets moved at least once a day when I drive it since I am about a foot taller than her. Could definitely be the problem.
