Seat Belt Warning Light Stays On

I have a 2002 mini cooper and seat belt warning light on the dash stays on when the seat belt being worn.

I have read elsewhere that wiring under the seat could be to blame? The seat is moved back and forward quite a lot so was wondering if this could loosen a connection?

Is this something I can fix?

Thanks

I had a very similar problem on my 04 mcs. The seatbelt light would take about 5 seconds to go out after buckling up. My mechanic removed the seat and replaced the (or portion of the) latch mechanism. That fixed it.

If I have this to do again I think I'd first try shooting some electronic cleaner in there and see if that fixes it.
