Seatbelt reminder relay, randomly turns on
Hi all,
I hope you had a good Christmas. I’m having an issue with my Volvo S40 first gen. I just had a trip of 1200km, and I need to go back still. But during this trip, very randomly, my relay of the seatbelt reminder suddenly started to turn on for a bit. After experiencing this issue, it keeps coming back. Sometimes when I only touch my blinker, not even making a full signal yet, I’ll go off for a second or two. It also appears very randomly sometimes when I’m driving, it will go on for a second as well. I tried to make sure it is not the seatbelt sensor. But the light is not going on and off, so it has to do something with the relay I think. I just removed the relay (see pictures), looked at the contact etc, looks fine. When I’m home in two weeks I can order new parts. But for now, what you think the issue is, and is there a few to disable it for now? Unplug a wire or a fuse? Any advise is welcome, thank you! Attached few pictures of the flasher relay I removed. https://ibb.co/vxS3sr1 https://ibb.co/8KJcJZF https://ibb.co/FKG49Ww |

Sorry - are you saying the seat belt light on your dash lights up intermittently or your are getting the clicky noise = like a seat belt reminder or indicator noise?

When it happens, my seatbelt is already plugged in. And the light on the roof does not light up. It’s only the sound that I hear. Whenever I put on the blinker when it happens, it slows down and when the blinker is off, it will pick up in speed again. This is why I thing somehow the blinker and seatbelt reminder sounds are combined in one relay. For now it is not a safety issue, but you really annoying to listen to. Maybe my next step is changing the turn signal lever. Best regards, Jochem |

I'm still a little confused about what is happening.
If you use your indicator and the clicky noise is double clicking - its normally a bulb needs changing. If the clicking noise is just happening intemitently as you drive - them I would hazard your seatbelt sensor may need attention. PS I,m no expert - just trying to be helpful - but its hard to diagnose without seeing it :-) I expect one of the other folk on here has a better idea than me |
