Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The light only comes on about once every 3 months, and is used regularly, so I don't think the wiring is undone, but will check it anyway.

Check the wiring connector to the belt buckle to make sure it hasn't come undone.

If I'm right above, and it is the BUCKLE, is there a chip or something in there, or just clean the metal buckle end?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, All; my 2001 C2 had the airbag light on. I got a Durametric kit from my son for Christmas, so finally checked it out today. The code that came up was 48 - Passenger Side Seatbelt Buckle. At least, I think it said buckle (sorry..) I always kinda thought that it was the receptacle that caused problems. If so, for those of you who've fixed it in the past, do you disassemble the receptacle, or just spray a load of Deoxit in the belt buckle slot? If I'm right above, and it is the BUCKLE, is there a chip or something in there, or just clean the metal buckle end? Thanks for any suggestions; Carl

POST 2Original post

Deoxit in the belt buckle slot first. Check the wiring connector to the belt buckle to make sure it hasn't come undone.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, DBJoe; I just wasn't sure if I needed to disassemble the buckle first to allow greater "reach" of the spray. The light only comes on about once every 3 months, and is used regularly, so I don't think the wiring is undone, but will check it anyway. Thanks!
