My seat belt has 3 wires going to it. What do I need to do to get the seat belt light to go out in the instrument cluster?

 

 

Should be only two wires. Just put a jumper between the two.

There are 3 wires in the harness plug going to the driver's front seat. I'll have to look at it again and get the colors of the wires. 

Two wires...

 

I know the cab end is 3 wires but I'm pretty sure that is for power seats.

 

My 99 is a Laramie SLT with the left power seat, and mine has 3 wires - orange/black, green/red, and black/green. I need to know which two wires to jumper. 

 

Thanks!

Any idea as to which two wires need to be jumpered?

 

Thanks!

I'm assuming that I need to jumper the Black/Green (Ground) with the Sense (Green/Red) wires?

 

I only see the one connector going to the driver's seat backrest, and that is the 3 wire connector that's under the driver seat center seat area under the seat frame. Is there supposed to be any other electrical connectors?

Where is that connector located at exactly? Mine has 3 wires and maybe I'm looking at the wrong one, and it's a Laramie SLT with driver power seat.

 

Thanks,

Right under the driver seat. I'm the mechanical non-electric seat. I do have 3 coming in but this plug is only 2 wires heading for the driver seat belt buckle. 

 

 

 

Look like green/red and black/green are the two wires that you would bridge or jumper.

Is that the plug that goes to the seat belt buckle on the right side of the driver's seat?

 

I think I was looking at the plug for the seat belt retractor that has 3 wires with the orange/black wire in it.

Yeah, the right side of the driver seat to the buckle.

 

I've got nothing in the seat retractor. I'm a 2002 Dodge the 98.5 and 99 have that center seat module.

My 99 doesn't have any wiring going to the female socket belt buckle. I only have the 3 wire plug going to the seat belt retractor with the orange/black, green/red, and black/green wires. A while back I tried a jumper wire between the orange/black and black/green wires before, but all it did was lock up my seat belt solenoid. I just tried the jumper between the black/green and green/red wires, but my seat belt light still stays on after it quits flashing. 

Module under the center seat giving an error maybe by keeping the light on?

I’m wondering the same thing. Do I remove the ball bearing that’s inside it? I read on the Cummins forum one member there fixed his that way.

I guess the next thing to do is to verify that the green/red wire has power, and the black/green wire has ground connectivity. 

I guess I should check for ground continuity from pin 6 of the seat belt control module and the ground point below the left rear speaker where the passenger and driver seat solenoids splice together.

Double check both fuses. I'm wondering if the light is a module error and that the only way to display it. 

Do you happen to know which fuses they are?

Right there in the diagram fuse 16 and fuse 12.. In the end of the dash.

 

Oops, sorry I didn't look that far up the diagram. I was just concentrated on the solenoid wiring below.

 

Thanks!

IOD fuse is good, as well as, fuse 16 is good as well.

I pulled the SCTM out and popped the top off it. It looks completely new inside on the circuit board without any visible damage to it. The ball bearing can move around in it's little plastic cage, so that looks normal to me.

 

To my knowledge the front seat belt retractors motors are only for energizing the solenoids for the seat belt. If they have something to do with the seat belt light on the dash, then how would the seat belt retractor sense wire know that the seat belt has been pulled out and buckled? Is this the "Green/Red" wire from my plug that is the "sense" wire?

 

There are no wiring harnesses on the female seat belt receptacles on my 99. How does the SCTM interact with the air bag system? If they are connected, 

 

I've already installed a brand new Mopar clock spring on the steering column, so that should be fine.

 

IOD fuse is good, as well as, the seat belt fuse is good.

 

Just trying to figure out why the seat belt light flashes like normal for it's self check during startup, but then it goes solid and stays on constantly until I turn the key to the off position.

 

I don't remember what year the diagram in my thread is from, but obviously it doesn't have the (3) wire plug like my Laramie SLT does with the power seat.

 

My 3 wire plug going from the SCTM to the driver's front seat retractor has these wires;

Orange/Black - assuming that is +

Black/Green - assuming that is -

Green/Red - Is this the sense wire for the seat belt being pulled out?

 

Thanks!

Sorry to hyjack, I'm tryiing to sort out seatbelt light not going out on 98.5 my drivers seatbelt plug has 4 wires, orange and black, black/light green, blue/white, and green/red

I've got continuity on the orange and black/light green, 7.5 to 8volts on or/bl, passenger side has the 2 wires and readings are the same, I'm now going to swap the control module, anyone know what the other two wires are on drivers side, seat has no heat and no power
