Why does my seatbelt light keep flashing?

When you start the engine, the seat belt light will usually flash for a few seconds even if the seat belt is already secured. Sometimes, the seatbelt switch can get stuck or broken and the light won’t turn off. Clean out the buckle or replace it, if necessary, and everything should return to normal.

How does a seatbelt alarm work?
