Need to reset a crosstalk problem between the seatbelt and security system.

There is a crosstalk issue between my seatbelt light and the security system, had a mechanic reset this and the issue was fixed, until today. I have tried the 10 min passlock reset and have not had success. I am unsure of what he did to solve the issue, but am hoping you can give me some help with it.

he hooked a scanner up to it which will have to be done again. you'll need apro type scanner to do this, auto parts ones won'r do it. you may have a body module issue or poor connection someplace doing this.

No scanner was hooked up by him for him to reset the issue. Its becoming a reoccuring issue (the crosstalk diagnosis was provided by a mechanic who has worked on chevy p/u's for 20+yrs), this is the third time the issue has happened and it seems that resolving it is a different thing everytime.

if this keeps happening there has to be acode set on it. it has to be a wire grounding out or loose causing this. it should be scanned to see if there is an area that is screwing up causing this.
