The seatbelt warning light is controlled by the
time/buzzer module on the interior bulkhead.
The light & buzzer will operate (momentarily)
only if the seatbelt is not fastened when you
first crank the car.
FWIW the timer/buzzer is easily disconnected.
Assuming the handbrake is OFF, the brake
warning light illuminates while the key is
in the "crank" position to provide a lamp
test. There's no timer here. Of course the
lamp should also light if the handbrake is
on, or if the PDWA sense hydraulic problems.
Hope this helps,
