Hi all

I have a SEAT Altea that refuses to stop chiming the seat belt alarm ... even though the belt is securely fastened. Need some assistance with this as it's driving me nuts! ... apparently the chime can be disabled using VCDS?

Any readers out there in the Harrow area that can help out? :Blush:

Have you checked the buckle switch cable connections under the seat, or tried spraying some contact cleaner into the buckle, might just be fluff blocking the switch.

Thanks for the reply Rob

I've not looked at the cable connections under the seat but when I hold down the seatbelt clip in tight on the buckle, the chiming stops. Also, I've resorted to using a bit of duct tape around the clip so that it sits snug in the buckle ... that works as well until the tape wears away. So to me it seems like an electrical connection issue of sorts.

Does WD40 work as a contact cleaner?

Try a squirt of wd40, with the straw to get it in there.
