Default Linex'd jeep, Now seatbelt chime.

Put jeep back together after LineX and now I'm getting intermittent seatbelt light/chime.

I had an airbag light for a few days-I re-secured the small yellow connector by the rear driver side door on the floor, but now the seatbelt lite/chime pop up.

I do have side airbags. It's a 2011 Jku

Does anyone know which of the yellow connectors is responsible for knowing if the seatbelt is engaged?

Any ideas?

Maybe an obvious question, but did you disconnect the battery before removing the seats and disconnecting the airbag/seatbelt connectors? Maybe disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, then reconnect and check. If no joy doing that, try disconnecting the battery then reconnecting the connectors with some dielectric grease.

Maybe

Yes-negative terminal for about 5 minutes.

Had anyone used dielectric grease to secure the connections?

I always use a small amount of dielectric grease on electrical connections to ensure continuity and reduce oxidation of the contacts.

Guessing if you have an "extra" connector below the seat it may be for heated seats (if you don't have that option). Sorry if this is not helpful, just hoping you get it figured out.

All good now. It was tied to the loose ground nut from thread above!
