Disable Seatbelt Warning Chime
Can anyone tell me the process for disabling the seat belt warning chime? There should be a process/key sequence to disable it.

Deactivating/Activating

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do not start the engine).
Wait until the safety belt warning indicator turns off (approximately 1 minute).
NOTE: Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning indicator turns off.

For the seating position being disabled, at a moderate speed, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 9 times, ending with the safety belt in the unbuckled state. After this step the safety belt warning indicator illuminates for 3 seconds.
Within 5 seconds after the safety belt warning indicator turns off, at a moderate speed, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.
This disables the Belt-Minder® feature for that seating position, if it is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning indicator flashes 4 times per second for 3 seconds.

THANK YOU . THAN YOU!

Put on seatbelt?


Sorry, had be a smart-a... LOL

I like to take it off when I'm sitting in the parking lot while waiting for my wife to get off work. Since it's getting cooler here I have the heat on at night. Just sick of the damn chiming.

Oh, yeah that is a pain. Used to get annoyed with the seatbelt chimes while working on Fords too. Sitting idle in park the stupid thing shouldn't go off. Also if you put something in the passenger seat, like a large dog.

No more chimes. Took me a couple tries to get the disable sequence right.
