WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The safety belt switch is hardwired directly to the restraint control module (RCM). The instrument cluster receives the safety belt switch status from the RCM through circuit 8-GE52 (WH/BK). The RCM monitors the safety belt switch and signals the instrument cluster to turn on the safety belt warning indicator when the safety belt is unfastened.
