seat belt warning

[gibson24600]

Hi, can anyone give me advice on my problem. When I drive my berlingo the seat belt alarm won't go offf for almost a minute and when it does the warning light on the dash stays lit.
Here is the killer, if I put my window wipers on intermittent then the seat belt alarm does the same, makes a noise till wipers activate, then silent for a second, then back to beeping noise, then if I put the wipers on constant the alarm goes off, but as soon as I put the wipers off the alarm starts up again.
When the wipers are turned off completely, the alarm beeps for a minute or so then goes off.
I changed the seat belt anchor and cable harness ( small black cable to a clip ) under drivers seat and made no difference, any and all help appreciated,
Gibson24600.

To help you accurately we will need the year and model of your Berlingo.
This sounds to me like a BSI (or similar) fault....maybe a bad earth connection.

Hi o'j, thanks for the reply, I have a 2003 1.9 hdi, I believe its facelift model with bigger headlights.
I have thought it may be relay or suchlike but there is no manual with it so cannot check what is what...
What is BSI ?
The driver floor pan is wet so looked at wires from seatbelt and they run to handbrake centre consul so ruled out damp connection or bad earth, am I wrong ?
Appreciate your input and assistance,

Hi guys, just thought I would update on my previous problem re bsi unit.
It is now august and my alarm has been going off like I said Initially all this time.
Last week it just stopped making a racket, just out of the blue, perhaps it took that long to dry out, not sure, but very happy........no more blasting radio or wearing ear protection lol.
Maybe not the best way to cure it but I'm happy.[/i]

Lol

The scuttle might be blocked letting in water which has been dripping on your bsi unit

With all the good weather it might have had chance to dry out.

I would check the scuttle for blockage and bsi for water ingress firstly.

Then do a bsi reset

I've just had this happen on way to Wales. I reckon we endured 1 hour and 40 minutes in all, and at the end the thing didnt go quiet, it just reset to the quiet setting and then ramped up again.
Can anyone alert me to which fuse stops this (2007 HDi 1.6 92) and whether there is a work around which passes the MOT. I dont need the warnings and the car is getting old now...

But I can't stand all holiday like this, and have a minimum of tools with me!!

[pondweed]

It passed the MOT no problem! 
Still have the siren and wondering where the damn thing is on the exposed Comms 2000 unit. It doesnt seem to be under the round 1" grille on the rhs, which I've tried obscuring with bluetac to no avail! Any suggestions on location and whether there is a separate speaker for the winkers and the seat belt alarm? I can't kill the latter if the winkers sound extinguish too....

All I can suggest is that there are some vids on YT showing how to pull a com2000 apart, mainly to do with fixing the stalks. Watch them and look for anything in the shots which might be a small speaker or buzzer.

IIRC you can disable the chime via Lexia.
