The fasten seatbelt indicator goes on and off almost constantly even though the belts are fastened. Where is the sensor? Under the seat I assume. Is it difficult to reach and replace? My 08 coupe is the best. This little problem is annoying.
Thanks for any help

There's two harness clips under the seat I'm willing I bet the seatbelt clasp is bad

My 07 does that too. You say it's the clasp and not a sensor?

The sensor should be inside the clasp you MIGHT be able to look in there with a flash light and use a screw driver to pry back the contact point but more than likely you'll just need to replace the clasp. Super easy to do, 4 bolts to remove the seat and one on the buckle/clasp that attaches it to the seat. I don't know if you could open the thing up but more than likely it's just the connection that should close when you put the buckle in is worn and not making contact.
