Default Seat Belt Warning Light

Hi all, I have an 02 Sedona LX and the seat belt warning light has stopped working, the bulb is ok as it lights up when I turn on the ignition so I was wondering if anyone else has come up against this and if you found a solution
Thanks
Rich

The problem i had was the light stayed on..they discovered one of the seat belt buckles had a short in it....a common enough problem with these....Thank God for warranty because These pesky little things would cost me a fortune...every couple months my Sedona in getting warranty work..

stokeflyer, the warning light no longer comes on, even if the belt is unbuckled while the key is in the ON position?

Try this (if I recall correctly):
Buckle belt
Start motor
Unbuckle
Immediately rebuckle

I think that's the process to turn the warning back on. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

Tried Inky's method but no luck, still the same, warning light shows when ignition first turned on but not when belts are unbuckled.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Rich

Sorry that didn't work. Maybe someone else will weigh in on this.
