OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, power is supplied through Circuit 640 to the warning chime module. The warning chime module supplies power to illuminate the safety belt warning indicator through Circuit 450. The warning chime module goes to ground through the safety belt switch Circuit 85. When the safety belt is engaged, the ground circuit to warning chime module is opened.
