Some Dodge Nitro owners report experiencing issues with the seatbelt and headlights warning chime not functioning, which may be linked to several underlying problems. These issues can arise if one component of the warning system, which includes the seat belt chime, door ajar chime, key in ignition chime, and lights left on chime, is malfunctioning, potentially affecting the others. Additionally, some owners have noted that a non-functioning seat belt reminder light could indicate a broader system issue. A constantly flickering seat belt dash warning light may suggest a faulty driver side seat-belt sensor, leading to the chime malfunction. It's also important to note that removing a fuse to disable the seat belt chime is not a viable solution, as this chime does not have a dedicated fuse. To troubleshoot, owners can attempt to reset the system by fastening and unbuckling the driver seat belt multiple times after starting the engine. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to seek professional diagnosis and repair for faulty components like the seat belt sensor or control module.
