'93 GC Seat Belt Warning Buzzer stays on
Now that it has gotten cooler, it seems that the seatbelt warning buzzer
in my 93 GC is staying on after starting the vehicle. It seems to be
temperature sensitive with the buzzer only staying on when the temp
<60F. This tends to happen in the morning and the buzzer can stay on
for 5 - 10 minutes before it turns itself off. The warning light on the
dash goes off only after a few seconds like it always did. It does not
seem to matter if I buckle the belt before or after I start the engine.
When the buzzer finally turns off it slowly turns off with a few on
and off cycles.
So my question is...Is there a buzzer module that I can remove to stop
the incessant electronic buzz? And if so does anyone know were it is
located? With the winter coming I don't think that I can take the
buzzer buzzing 10 minutes every morning.

Follow the seat belt harness down to the carpet and find the wire.
Light Green with a Red stripe. Ground the wire to the chassis and that
will bypass the switch that has started to fail. Or clean the seatbelt
switch. (a real pain in the butt)
You can't directly pull the module, it's tied into other things.

Re: '93 GC Seat Belt Warning Buzzer stays on
Well unfortunately grounding and/or shorting the wires going to and from
the buckle did not help the situation. I pulled the pink colored module
located under the dash to quiet the infernal buzzer. Does anyone know
if these modules typically go bad or could I go junk yarding and pick up
another one.

Odd. :/
Cavity C4 in the socket where the chime plugs is the line to the seatbelt
if you have a multimeter you could check the switch.
With the chime module out you won't get "lamps on", "turnsignal left running",
or "key in the ignition" beeps. And you will be able to lock the drivers door
using the powerlocks if the key is in the ignition.
Never heard of a module going bad. The pinout is like this.
(looking into the socket where the chime module plugs)
[ ]
C1 C2 C3 C4
C8 C7 C6 C5
C1 - Fused Ignition (12V) Running
C2 - Seat belt lamp (bulb on the dash)
C3 - Ground
C4 - Seat Belt Switch
C5 - Power Door Lock Inhibit
C6 - Fused Battery (12V) Constant
C7 - Headlamp Switch
C8 - Tone Line (chime from the VIC)
Don't have any details on the modules guts.
