Yes.

Yes, and a buzzer under the dash sounds the entire time the test probe
is connected to #14. At first I thought it might be a "feature" of
this (new) test probe,�but it is not.

Test light blinks. Buzzer (must be the seat belt buzzer) sound dies
out as blinking commences and returns when blinking stops.

Which makes me think, isn't there a difference between 82 and 83
buzzer/seat belt light electronics? A resistor somewhere?
