This sounds like a 72-3.  Thy have a sensor in the passenger seat that tells 
when there is someone sitting there.  There is a curly cord under that seat 
that connects the weight switch to the seat belt warning system.  This will 
require that the passenger seat belt be fastened if there is someone sitting 
there.  I don't believe there should be anything similar under the driver's 
seat.

The curly cord comes out of the bottom of the seat and plugs into a socket 
that is mounted to the side of the center tunnel under the seat.
