I did find a connector under drivers seat that goes to the drivers buckle.
I never found one for the passenger side watcha think. Ever work on air bags? Thanks for listening.
Thank pcp for all the info sounds like u have been around these Mazada,s for a while. I have yet another issue. I found A dtc p0421 Cat below threshold bank1. Have a O2 sensor on order. While I was hooking up my tester I found out the data link connector is faulty. i still have to get it inspected too.If I hold it just right I can go through the tests. You ever replace a data link connector? I think it’s the connector by the way I was holding it to get it to work? I hope it’s not in the wiring. Can you even get a DL. Connector? Thanks again.That switch has nothing to do with the air bags or seat belts. It simply turns on the idiot light to remind you to put your seat belt on.
It also has a timer circuit to ring a beeper for a few seconds.
This is what it looks like.

If that light comes on and won't shut off, you can turn it off by grounding the connector to metal somewhere.
I forget which end you connect to ground, I think it's the connector side that unplugs with the wire on it.
The switch can get dirty and stop making contact, then the light won't shut off.
The WD-40 may have cleaned the switch and got it working again.
There is only one seat belt switch, just the drivers seat.
This is the idiot light that is of concern,..

That's the one that needs attention and is a big safety issue.

This is just an air filter.
You just pull it off and put it on the proper port if the valve connects differently.
