Nissan Micra 2006 - Warning lights and alarms - Ignition key light flashing

Hi, my ignition key light keeps flashing green after the engine has been started and lasts for a couple of minutes. Also, my seat belt alarm has stopped working. Yesterday, the first time after the ignition light began flashing, I could not lock or unlock the car with either 'key'. The locks seem to be working today even though the light is still flashing. Would anyone know if this is a fuse problem and the two issue are related or if the electrics are up the swannie and I need to take the car in to the garage? Thanks. catwsl.

I suggest the green flashing key warning is telling you the batteries are low in the key fob. If the ignition light is flashing it may be indicating you have an alternator fault and is not charging the battery properly. I do not think the seat beat problem is related. Regards Peter

Thanks Peter, I hadn't considered the fob batteries being low, just assumed it was the car.
