MDP_89T-Bird
Newbie
Hello everyone, I am new. About 2 months ago, I bought a 1989 Thunderbird Base 3.8L with 46,000 miles. Love the car--very comfortable, nice looking, easy to drive. Its nice to drive a car that you just don't see very often anymore. I also have a 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis as my daily, though I've been using the Thunderbird pretty frequently as well. I really like the older cars.
I have a question about the seat belt light on the instrument panel. It stays illuminated even if my seat belts are on. The only way the light will go off is if both the driver's and passenger's shoulder belts are clicked in. The lap belts, it seems, have nothing to do with the light. Has this happened to anyone else--how can I fix this? Sounds like maybe a dirty sensor? I don't know where it would be though. Is this how it is supposed to work?? I don't know I have never driven this car before. I would appreciate any input or thoughts, thank you kindly.
