Subject:door chime/seat belt light anomaly
From:Alistair Bell

pretty minor stuff here, and maybe many will wonder why I would miss
not having door chime....

'86 syncro GL, 7 pass.

-it does not have a switch on drivers side seat belt latch for seat
belt warning light
-warning light unit only has handbrake light and logo, seat belt
space blank
-warning light unit does not have wire into connector for seat belt
switch (yellow/red)
-door/seat belt warning relay missing
-socket (added socket on top of fuse panel), has some wires to it,
but not all. Missing black wire from fuse S18. only one grey wire
(from door? assume the missing grey is for seat belt switch). Missing
grey/red wire that is also part of seat belt switch.

At first I thought previous owner had disconnected door chime (as
many do) but after pulling fuse/relay panel and having a good look in
the rat's nest of wire, I have concluded its more likely it never did
have it.

Funny eh? Anyone else have missing seat belt warning light/switch and
no door chime? Hoping electrical expert Mark Drillock will "chime" in.
