Seat Belt Control Module Operation

[zoman]

Hi there, we have a 99 ram 1500 pick-up 4x4 standard tranny, it has a drain of about .36 amps and has been traced to the seat belt control module. Does anyone have any information on how this system works/functions? Thanx in advance...

My 99 Ram does it too! It drains 0.5 A! Most of them do it. Search at dodgeram.org[tech[troubleshoot/Problems.htm

They recomend replacing the modulr with a "revised part".

well, we "fixed" it by removing constant power to the module...we then wired the hot to it to an ignition feed...drain is gone forever...it still works as it should.

Absolutely Brilliant Solution!
