264 brake buzzer[ALL/1998] posted by Warren Chamberlain on

My wife is going to kill me if I don't fix this weird problem in her 78 264, which is causing the seat-belt warning buzzer to turn on whenever you press on the brake pedal.
To add more weirdness to this, I drove the car last night and the problem was happening. I stopped to get dinner, and when I came out and went to back out of the parking space my foot was on the brake and the buzzer was sounding. Then when my foot was still on the brakes, the buzzer tone changed (lower & quieter). I backed out of the spot, and presto, the problem was gone. It worked all the way home. When I got home I shut the car off, got out, got back in, and started it back up. Guess what, the problem returned.

So, if anyone has any suggestions on where to look for the cause for this problem my wife and I would be grateful

BTW if you answer this weekend (8/9-10) please send email to my home address

TIA
