Seat Belt Warning Light On For No Reason?

[debs75]

Please can I have some advice?

 

I had a beautiful BMW 530D which I sold to replace with a Galaxy as it was more practical than the BM and fits well with my work as a childminder. I got my Galaxy on Saturday and already I have a problem......

 

The seat belt warning light keeps coming on. I go around the vehicle checking seatbelts are plugged in (which worked yesterday afternoon) but nothing I do today makes any difference.

 

Am I being a wally and missing something really silly? or do I have a problem?

 

I phoned my local dealer and they want

Not 100% following there, did you buckle all the seatbelts and it still didn't go off? If the occupancy sensor is made and the seatbelt isn't buckled in then the warning will be activated - so if anyone (or more importantly anything (such as a laptop)) is on one of the seats then that seatbelt needs to be buckled.

Sorry my bad english.

 

I did plug all the seat belts in and yes the alarm was still sounding. However, there was unused car seat on the third row which I laid down (accross the seat)

Ok

 

I have removed all car seats - except the ones with children in. In other words - all seats with occupants have the belt plugged in and the warning light is still bing -binging at me..........

Check under each seat, you'll find a couple of connectors - undo and redo each one as thats reasonably common on Mondeos to cause this problem. Make sure you do it with the ignition off and the car having sat for 20/30 mins.
