My 2006 Subaru Forester's Seat Belt Indicator has suddenly started to randomly Flash and Beep while driving with my Seat Belt on. It doesn't seem to occur while idling though. If I'm sitting there idling without my Seat Belt on than the Seat Belt Indicator activates as it should. I do notice if I hold the Clutch in it comes on but not consistently though. I think it does it too when I use my brakes as well. The car runs normal without any problems that I can see. I haven't seen any Dashboard Warning Lights appear along with the Flashes and Beeps.
If I remember correctly there is a sensor in the seatbelt buckle. It might have worked its' way loose and your leg motions might be moving it enough to open or ground the circuit. Might be a good idea to check and see if something fell into the latch area, too.
Ok, thanks John. I will check those areas and see what's going on.

Drop in to an Autozone, or Pep Boys, or similar big parts store & they will usually scan for codes free. This will hopefully eliminate all the guess work, or at least point everyone in right direction for better diagnosis. If not obvious from codes what the problem is, get back to us and we'll help you out.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the great suggestion . I'll have Autozone read the codes on Monday. Thanks again!"
