Seat belt warning light

How can I turn off the seat belt warning light on my 1997 VW Passat? The warning chime turns off when I buckle the driver's seat belt but the warning light on the dash does not go off. Thank you for any help you can give.

I'm having the same problem on my 96 passat. The seat belt light stays on and the chime keeps ringing. I can turn the radio up but the light bugs me. Anyone have any Ideas??
Thanks Passnbyu

Look under your drivers seat where the seat belt is connected. You have wires going to the belt. If you may have cut a wire. Mine is cut, but i don't get an alarm or seatbelt light that stays on.
