Early MINIs had a recall on the wiring harness underneath the front seats due to it being too short to allow the seats to be moved completely forward (like when you slid the seat forward to get access to the rear seats).
What happens is you move the seat as far forward as they will travel, but the wiring underneath is too short so it breaks the connector.
You MIGHT be able to talk a dealer into covering this for free but you might also get one that won't. Technically, they should.
Normally, this also causes the airbag light to also come on (same harness).
You might have some luck just jiggling the connections which are attached to the front rail of the underside of the seats.

Why does the seat belt light on your 1998 Toyota Tercel 2 door come on when the driver's seat belt is fastened?
It is probably because the sensor under the seat for the seat belt has disconnected --Same thing happened to me. The light would go out when I pulled on the seatbelt. The reason was the simple fact that the belt was twisted before it came out of the shoulder "bracket". Oh... The sensor is in the door post, not under the seat. I also thought of that eventuality and checked. Nope, no sensor under the seat!
