Seat belt warning light + beep problem?

[The Fatty]

My seatbelt warning light has started coming on randomly (+ buzzer) even though the seatbelt is in correctly. If I move around on the seat it stops. Would it be the sensor in the seatbelt clip or the pressure pad in the seat? Any suggestions to fixing it?

Sensor in clip bit. It's two bits of metal that are pushed apart to break the circuit when the buckle is inserted. Easy to see when you undo the little torx

thanks I will take it apart and give it a good clean

You can always just bend the contacts apart so it never comes on. I did that for when I'm using harnesses instead of standard belt

Ok thanks, I will keep that in mind should the cleaning not work
