Installed my new distributor last night and drove the car..everything seems great. I noticed as I was driving, my seat belt light flickering, and the buzzer sounding slightly. Now I had jumpered my sensor under the seat many months ago so the buzzer and light would work until I fasten my seat belt(or the park brake set will turn off the light and buzzer too). Anyway the two wires under the seat had come loose and was touching the seat, grounding and causing the buzzer to sound. No big deal right? Just reattach the two wires and back to normal....wrong! I went to start he car and no cranking...then I remembered that relay box in the front trunk...pushed the red button..bang! Started right up. Shut the engine off...try to start it again..nothing....push that little red button again...yep..starts no problem.
So...did that interlock module under the dash somewhere decide to go south?...I am thinking maybe I could just bypass that switch in the front trunk and it will start anyway.
Never a dull moment. I remember cars of this year, no start unless seatbelt fasten...I wonder if somehow this system has been activated...need to figure the best approach to override this system. Thanks again for any suggestions.
