HI everyone, im new to the forum...
i own a mazda 2 (2010) model and today when i started her the seat belt alarm kept on going off despite the fact i had my seat belt on, i dont want to take it to the agents as they will charge me a fortune, can i take it to a normal mechanic ? also can i disarm it myself....

your advice will be much appreciated

 

Was it the alarm for the drivers seat belt - shown on the instrument cluster beside speedo?
or
was it the front passenger seat alarm - shown beside the stereo & heater display screen?
or
was it 1 of the rear seatbelt reminders? ( depends on grade/spec level )


Drivers warning may require replacing the buckle on the seat.
Passengers seat alarm is mounted inside the seat cushion, not sure how to disable, or if possible.
Rear seatbelt reminder may require replacing the offending buckle.

 

yes beside the speedo its flashing and beeping....
and its passenger side beeping...

thank you for responding to me will see if i can get someone to look over it for me...

 

You probably have something heavy on the seat! Put it on floor instead!

 

Hi Useyournoggin....
thanks for replying to me and your hit the nail on the head with that one it was indeed my handbag (blush) i took it to a mechanic and it was fine when i left and put my handbag on my seat it started beeping... only a womens bag can be that heavy thanks again

 

You could do up the passenger seatbelt, and leave it hooked up. This may work.
Or you could strap that big bag holding it in place!

 

thanks i have put it on the passenger floor think i just need to carry a small bag with less things in it thanks again for your advice its much appreciated....
