seat belt alarm

[WMcGuire]

I know this has been discussed before about disabling the alarms on the seat belt, I have re-programmed the thing several times and it works for awhile then reverts back to the original programming constantly chiming until you lock the belt, any one know why it reverts? I don't mind the first chime, I just hate the constant noise when I'm in & out of the seat in the field.

I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but did you follow the manual exactly? I've read from quite a few folks here of not following the instructions exactly, having problems, reading the manual again, and fixing the problem permenately. I'll bet there is something your forgetting to do.

I took mine to the dealer and they did it with a plug in computer and disabled all the Ralph Nader needless stuff

1. Unplug the seat belt warning sensor which is a 2-wire harness under the driver's seat on the floor near the center floor hump.



2. Make up a short jumper wire with a spade lug on each end.



3. Plug this jumper wire into the truck end of the connector. (It will only plug into that connector. )



The seat belt chime will sound a short "ding" one time and the red warning light will go out on the dash each time you start the truck. Otherwise, the seat belt chime is silent and no warning light. It takes about 5 minutes and you are good to go... no fuss, no muss!

I programmed my seat belt chime OFF, it worked great for 30K miles... then one day it decided to work again. I then took it to the dealer and they took car of the seat belt chime and the horn when you lock your truck with the remote...

I unplugged the seat belt wire on my 2007. 5 truck and was able to jumper the two small flat connectors with a single blade connector across both.

Just playing devils advocate here, but fooling the sensor could cause safety risks over and above just not wearing the seatbelt. I don't know if ours are like this, but many new vehicles have multi-stage airbags that will deploy differently if the seat belt is sensed to be worn or not. Fooling the belt sensor may cause the airbag to deploy with greater force causing greater injury to you if the vehicle thinks you are wearing it when you're not.

from my stand point its not that i am fooling it so i don't have to here it beep. its about getting in you truck to go down the driveway for mail and gettin in and out hooking up trailers, things like this. not cause i want to chance death with 100 million idiots.

A switch would be easy to install

Most people that do this mod still wear their seatbelt on the road. For most of us, it's just driveway stuff and backing up. If you're stupid enough to get on the highway without buckling your seat belt, you've got bigger safety issues than air bag deployment force, and you likely don't care anyway.

i took my 03 to dealer about the unreal buzzer -chime for seat belt and the doors front and rear, the truck freaks me out in a days work in the field going thru a dozen gates and hearing all that friggin racket, dealer told me he couldnt do anything bout it it was all programmed in main computer. i hate the truck for the noise. and another thing the cotton pickin rear doors stay locked have to unlock all day long trying to work out of it nobodys going to try and jump in the thing out in a cow pasture or hay field and get me i dont need chrysler or uncle sam protecting me from the boogie man- i have a . 40 cal sig-sauer for that,

I couldn't get the seat bell alarm to go off no matter how many times I tried the unbuckle-buckle routine. UNTIL I reread the instructions in the last TDR magazine. It worked!! Now I can drive in the Walmart parking lot to Lowes without buckling up and that darn dinger doesn't!
