When I put on my seat belt I have an intermittent fault with the seat belt warning light coming on and the beeping sound. Sometimes when I shake where the seat buckle goes into it would stop for a little bit and then start beeping again .

Any help would be much appreciated as it is very annoying when driving along.

Thanks.

Looks like there is a problem with the micro switch in the seat belt stalk . May want to try and get your vacuum cleaner down near the belt tongue hole , there might be some debris there preventing correct operation.

You may need to replace the belt stalk, or get the wiring by-passed . I did this on a friends Kuga .

Hi, i have replaced the seat belt stalk and the beeping has stopped which is great.

Since i have replaced it now the Airbag light has come on and wont go out.

How do i turn off the Airbag light?

Thanks.

You will need diagnostic kit to clear the warning light . It won’t go off on its own.
