Seat Belt Light Issue
75 Vette Coupe, Automatic Canadian Car.
Start car, seat belt light is very dim, sit in drivers’ seat and fasten seat belt, seat belt light gets slightly brighter (not fully bright/on). Fasten passenger seat belt with no passenger seated and seat belt light goes off. The seat belt light will also go off if car is put in drive When car is in park and ignition off with nobody in car, seat belt light stays very dim.
There is no timer to allow seat belt light to go off, therefore when light is on (regardless of how bright), it stays on.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm the original owner and I understood that in Canada, the dealer removed the interlock relay on the firewall, therefore it never came from factory. I forgot to mention it's an automatic.
Thanks for the link, I'll read it later on today.

The light was connected to the same terminals as the relay for the buzzer so if that buzzer, or relay, is faulting then that could be where it's getting a lower level ground signal?
Maybe try disconnecting them and see what the light does then
