Disconnected > the seat belt electrics and the problem was solved I can second John's suggestion about the auto seatbelts. I had the same problem. Belt would get stuck somewhere in the channel and not fully go to the end, so the relay would stay on thus draining the battery. Next day, dead car! I too disconnected the fuses to the auto-belts and now just manually buckle them when I get in or out of the car. Patrick
