Fasten seatbelt light flashes on your 1998 corolla when your seatbelt is fastened?

I had the same problem in my 99 Sienna. I went to the Toyota dealership (Canada) and they said I had to replace the entire seat belt and mechanism ($300+). Apparently the seatbelt sensor is tamper-proof, so if it goes on the fritz, you have to replace the whole thing instead of just replacing the sensor. I'm not convinced; I think Toyota is saying that because you're not supposed to tamper with it (ie. protecting their liability), but there must be a more affordable do-it-yourself way to fix it.
I have the same with my 2000 Sienna. I found a Corolla owner on a forum with the same problem and he replaced the buckle with a newer one that had the buckled-sensing switch in the buckle and wired it into the switch plug from the belt retractor. Can we do the same with our Siennas? I am going to check this out. It seems that Toyota used the buckle sensor up until 98, switched away from it for three years, and then went back to it in the 2001 models, hence the ability to replace the buckle.

How do you disconnect seat belt alarm on 2008 corolla?
Here is your solution to the annoying seatbelt alarm (works on all Toyotas, I used it on my 2005 Corolla and yes, I always use my seatbelt): (1) Turn the Car "ON," but do not start the engine (leave your foot off the brake, don't fasten seatbelt). Cycle your trip reset knob until it reads ODO. Turn the ignition back off. Wait a couple of seconds. (2) Make sure your seat belt is not fastened. (3) Turn the ignition back on, do not start the car (leave your foot off the break, don't fasten seat belt). As soon as you see everything light up, press and hold the trip reset knob and do a long 12 second count. (4) Keep your finger on the trip reset knob. Fasten your seat belt. As soon as you fasten your seat belt, you should see the ODO display go from XXXX miles to "b-on." At that time, take your finger off the trip reset knob and it should cycle to "b-off." If it doesn't, just press the knob again until "b-off" appears. Once "b-off" appears, turn the ignition off and unfasten your seat belt. Now, when you start your car, you should hear the "normal" seatbelt beeping, then when you go over 10 mph, if your seatbelt is not fastened, it won't beep 54 times... the seatbelt signal will just continue to flash... but no more annoying beep!!
