90 EF hatch with a weird problem that ive kinda had before but a lil different. My starter is dead, but before it crapped out i have moving around the ground and positive cables just to make sure nothing was loose. then when i get in the car and press down on the brake, the "no seatbelt" light wil come on, as well as the "door ajar" light.

this happened before when my brake safety switch went out BUT in this case my brake lights are working so i can rule that out. (brake safety switch failure results in brake lights not working).

so yea i took the starter out and replacing it this weekend, could this be from wires crossing? or something else completely?

Thanks

 

it sounds like you have a back feed, replace the brake light switch, see if it goes away

 

**** i did that like 2 months ago, it was a bitch had to drop the steering rack...well didnt have to but it was easier this way haha. $30 fix

 

Check your body ground. If it has a bad connection it will cause it to back feed through other various electrical circuits

 

k thanx i like that solution better than brake switch haha.

 

corroded connectors? i had the problem of the right turn signal dash indicator lighting up when i stepped on the brake pedal. contact cleaner on the problem plugs worked.
