There could be a few reasons why your seat belt light is flashing when you've already buckled it. One possibility is that the light sensor is dirty and needs to be cleaned. If you have a metal belt, make sure the metal is touching your skin and not just the cloth part of the belt. If the light is still flashing, there might be a problem with the seat belt mechanism and you'll need to take it to a mechanic.
