Not the seat belt....But i found the wire from the brake light...It was on the junction box on the cross member....A dark brow wire...It was a ground wire coming of a sensor...But i had to run a new Wire from my gas tank cause I found the wire...But the wire was funky looking...Even tho it worked i wanted to replace it...So i slid the bed back and replaced it....But yeat all the lights work.....And the gauges :D

If it's new just return it! Optima's are nice but a lil pricey. You can just get a good AGM battery for less.

They probably just gave you the cheap group 75 battery. Get the 34DT-DLG Duralast. That's a better autozone battery
