I posted a question awhile back about the seat belt light on my 2002 TJ. I’m still having the problem.
I have gone through all the resources and cannot find a diagram of the seat belt wiring.
Does anyone know where I can find some info on this.
So far I have pulled the seats and cleaned the buckles and all the connections. The wiring and connector is ok.
Once I get that dang light to go off my new toy will be in great shape.
I appreciate any help!

On my 2003 simply unplugging the electrical connector causes the light to go out.

It’s the passenger seat belt light.
The drivers side is un plugged and goes off quickly.
I plugged it back in and it made no difference.
I guess the next thing I need to do is look in the seat for sensors, I don’t know.
No help online anywhere.
I am looking at the 4 volume service manuals for sale on eBay but don’t really want to spend those bucks.
That money could buy another Jeep goody!
Thanks!

Yes, I have been through all the 2002 pdf in the resources. Can’t find anything but a written description that’s pretty vague. No help for me.
Thanks!

Pretty sure there is only 1 seat belt switch and that is on the drivers side seatbelt assembly as Jerry has referenced. Is it possible you are seeing the passenger side air bag indicator on? Put your ignition key into the air bag switch normally mounted on the console and give it a counter clockwise turn and see if your light goes out.

Good idea. I’ve already thought of it but it is a non serviceable bulb. I found that out online.
Black tape crossed my mind but I don’t really want to go there.
Anyway, I just ordered the 4 volume 2002 TJ service manuals off eBay.
If and when I get this sorted out I will post the fix.
Thanks everyone!

The dash light symbol showing is a picture of the passenger with the seat belt. If you google 2002 TJ Dash Warning lights it shows all the symbols and what they mean.

I'm only aware of two lights. The first is the driver seat belt warning light (no other seatbelts trigger this):

The second is the airbag warning light. It is triggered by the Airbag Control Module for various fault conditions:

As far as I can tell, the 2002 (and all other model years I've looked at) doesn't trigger the first light for any seat other than the driver's seat. If the first light is on, you probably have either a short in the wiring or in the instrument panel itself. If the second light is on, you have an airbag fault.

Yes, a lot of info but nothing for me

The airbag light comes on and goes off.
The passenger light, according to the dash warning light, stays on.

Something is odd here. The FSM says the indicator light relates to the drivers side front seatbelt. No mention of passenger side. Can you post a pic of what you are seeing?
