Is the seatbelt light going off, indicating that a door is open when its really closed this is important. I had this problem you may have to adjust them if this is the case. I had to shim the inside plastic clip and move it out because the plastic had worn.

Don't cut it, it may short out. Just unplug it and the plastic will insulate the wire end from shorting against the inside of the door. Good luck.
