Default Seat Belt Warning Light

My seat belt warning light will not go out when I'm buckled in. Does anyone know the reason why?

When the tongue end of the belt is inserted into the latch the switch is supposed to open the circuit so that the light on the dash goes out. If the switch is stuck closed the light remains illuminated even when the belt is latched. The connector that contains the switch is between the seat and the tunnel at floor level.
Thank you very much
