Does the icon light when you first turn on the ignition? There is usually a 'bulb test' then.

The bulb could be burned out or the connections to the circuit in the buckle could be bad.

So the icon DOES light but not properly. Probably not a fuse.

I'd try to flush the seatbelt buckle receptacle, perhaps something spilled in it in the past. Use rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) which dries rapidly.

You might still have a bad connection in there. Can the passenger side buckle work on the driver's side?

Microswitch inside the buckle is sticking or bad? I see that in various cars sometimes.

If it were a broken wire I'd expect you could just move the buckle to make the light turn on and off.

If you're good with wires and a voltmeter you can test it.
