Icon6 2003 CRV Seat Belt Chime Activation

The seat belt chime no longer works on my 2003 CRV, so I have to try to remember to use the belt without its reminder.
That usually works but I got a $136 ticket last week and I am now motivated to get it fixed!

There are lots of people giving advice on how to deactivate the chime -- but nothing for my problem.

The seat belt works and the dashboard warning light for the seat belt works. Just no chime!

How do I reactivate the annoying chime that keeps me safe AND legal?

The beeper is built into the multiplex control unit (mcu), which is built into the under-dash fuse/relay box. It may be due to a faulty mcu.

Try spraying a little WD-40 in the driver's seat belt buckle. There are two switches in the driver's seat belt buckle and one may be sticking. See if by chance it makes a difference.

Thanks for the information.
I will try the WD-40 first.

What are the other characteristics of a faulty MCU?
My other SRS lights seem to all be working.

Thanks!
