Hi
Can anyone help me here? My 2001 Xantia HDi 110 has developed a not serious but never the less agravating habit of the seat belt warning light coming on as you are driving. When you start her up from cold the light goes out as usual and then as you are driving along after about 20 minutes driving on it comes and glares at you from the dash. If you stop the engine and restart it the warning light goes out and then comes on again very quickly (like 2/3 minutes). All of which makes me wonder if its in some way heat related but I really have no idea. Is there a relay/timer for this function.If so where is it. Any help really appreciated.

Is it the seatbelt warning light - or side air bag warning lamp? The former (if fitted - and my 2000 90HDi never had one) is usually a dodgey contact in the drivers seat belt clip point - try spraying and cleaning the contactc with a propriatory cleaner.
The latter (orange lamp, looks like a bloke sat in the seat with a blob on his side) is usually a connector under the seat - same again check leads, connections spray and clean. Often these light up if disturbed by rear seat passengers feet, or even moving the drivers seat.

Hi
Thanks for the answer. My car does not have side air bags. Its a yellow light with a guy sitting with a diagonal belt across him. It goes off (temporarily now like!) even if you don't put on your seatbelt which leads me to believe that it may just be on some sort of timer or the like. The reason I found this out was after it started acting up I left the seat belt undone after starting thinking that that would leave it on but no it went out and then came back on again as described earlier. That made me think that it wasn't a belt connection that put it out.
