Seatbelt Indicator Light?

I'm having a little glitch. If someone is sitting in my passenger seat and gets out of it with the car running, the indicator light in my dashboard that says someone's not wearing a seatbelt stays on until I turn off the car. Even with nothing on the seat for the rest of the drive (whether it's five minutes or half an hour), the light in the dash stays on. The Passenger Airbag light works fine.
Anyone else have this problem?

Update on my weird seat problem:
It started out exactly as described above, then progressed to turning on when I start the car with nothing on the passenger seat and basically being on anytime that seatbelt wasn't done up. (The driver seatbelt was of course done up the whole time.) I took it in to my local Nissan dealer today, they had it for four hours and gave it back to me saying there was nothing wrong. I insisted that there was a problem and took one of the maintenance staff out to the vehicle. He sat in the driver's seat and started the car. No light. I got in the passenger seat, did up the seatbelt and undid it. The light came on. I got out of the car. The light stayed on. He commented that it "didn't seem right," that he'd never seen it before, and that he'd have to look into it, then asked me to move the car. I did, and the light came on as I did so, which I pointed out to him.
A few minutes after I got home, he called me and said that he'd ordered a new seat sensor pad thing and that it would be in in a week or two. So, we'll see!
