Seat Belt Buzzing
Discussion
I don't know if you cousins have this problem, it may be USA only.
When I start my TVR, a buzzer sounds and the seat belt and brakes light come on for about 5 seconds and then all turn off. Lately, the light and buzzer stay on until I turn the headlights on-off. I'm guessing the extra power-draw from the light and motors is enough to "shock" the timer or sensor into turning off.
I'm going to look into corroded connectors, etc. but I thought I check with more experienced heads. Thanks Grady
PS/ There is no alarm/immobilizer fitted.

Grady,
Don't know what the final solution is, but my '85 280i recently began displaying the same problem. I initially thought that it was caused by a stuck relay in one of the brake circuits. But after pulling the relays and cleaning those contacts, after a week, the problem came back and persists even after I pull both brake circuit relays out.
After reading your posting, out of curiousity, I went down to the garage, started the car and when the buzzer didn't turn off automatically, I just flicked the headlight bright stalk switch. Buzzing immediately stopped!
If either one of us finds the real solution, send an email!
