Here's another one from the mechanically challenged. The fasten seatbelt light in my 82 comes on sometimes while I'm driving. It may stay on or it may grow brighter and dimmer and then again it may go off again. Very unpredictable. I've tried tapping and pulling on various things like the seatbelt itself, the ignition switch, the gauge panel but nothing seems to have an effect on it. I have noticed however that when I get on an incline heading down it will go out until the car levels out again and then it may come on again and it may not. OK some connection somewhere is loose and intermittent but where? in the dash, at the seatbelt fasteners, or at that pendulum locking mechanism?

isn't there a micro switch under the seat that makes the seat belt light come on until the belt is fastened?

From the mechanically challenged.... What's a micro switch and what would one look like. Do I need a nanobot to fix it!

Hey, I'm just an idiot. During the day I can't see the red warning light so this problem only bothers me when I drive at night.

the shop manual dosen't show a good picture of it. its under the the drivers seat so looks like you have to take the seat out. there is also a thermal relay that is supposed to turn the light after 15 secounds if you ignore the light. that is more likely the problem but again the service manual dosen't give any help where to find it. maybe some with a 78-82 will have some direction where to find it.
