One of them is jammed (which was another question I > was going to ask...). I was stupidly thinking that car off equaled > seatbelts off, but that's not the case. In the '88, they are a couple of black relays underneath the back seat, on what USA'ns call the drivers' side. (I don't recall where you are, sorry). If the mouse-belt is stuck in the correct position for it being a safe seatbelt, just yank the relay, and duck under it when you get in. Annoying, but it'll save your battery until (unless?) you go and get that fixed. > One reason I am excited about this car is it's cool, but I'm not > afraid to messing up an expensive new purchase.

I can take a look & let you know where to start digging. Dave Hinz
