Thanks,

i do own Dan Masters book. An AWESOME book, and highly recommended.
However, I still seem unable to track down some of the wiring and direction
towards the problem.

The seat belt buzzer and light do not operate at all as supposed to when 
starting.
The buzzer works if I open the door. So I guess the round plastic (butt) 
sensor switch
is bad or not getting current. not sure which.
I can live without that.

The EGR light is ALWAYS on. Even w/ several EGR counters replaced/switch 
out.
That annoys me. Mainly because I fear a ground somewhere. I do not want a 
fire.

Oh the joy. Maybe someone can shed some (heh heeh .. ) LIGHT on the subject.
Of course it will be a select few on this list that A) have a 76 tr6 and B) 
maybe had the
same trouble. I will consult the Dan Masters book again. I am sure I over 
looked something
in my tired research.


-James
