Ok, detailed instructions here - look under seat, find wire that goes to buckle, you'll see where there wires hook to a harness or something, unplug the wire (electrical connector). Make sure you leave wire where it won't get cause in the seat tracks. Done.

 

I just cut them, figured I'd have to splice the ends together, but nope, normally closed sensor so when it's open it means you're buckled.

I want to be where you are at: "no other vehicles for thousands of acres". Sounds like a slice of heaven to me. I can get about 300+ acres or so away from nearest lane.

Does this only disable the chime?

Since insurance companies give discounts for seatbelt,airbags,abs disabling them are called FRAUD and if you have an accident your in deep trouble.

I can't believe people are so quick to go messing with the vehicle's safety systems. In this case it's probably not a big deal, but either way I wouldn't recommend it.

 

Seriously, it's NOT that hard to be safe and wear a seatbelt when in the vehicle. Not only is it illegal not to, it could get you killed if you're in a crash without wearing one.

I really hope your decision to skip wearing the seatbelt isn't based on one of those "my friend would have died in the wreck if he were wearing a seatbelt" stories. As a medic, I can promise you that you're 1,000,000 times better off with it on. I consider myself a great driver.. I always wear mine b/c of all the other horrible drivers out there! Just my $0.02

 

Hopefully you don't get in a wreck and break your face on steering wheel, shatter your legs because they crash into lower dashboard or get your scalp removed by the sun visor. (seen all those things happen without belts)

I don't think he ever said that he wanted to disable the chime for when he was driving down the highway, maybe he does, but I will be doing the same thing to mine and not for highway use, I always wear my seatbelt when driving on the highway. Its when I'm down on the hunting club or on the farm checking fences that the chime really gets annoying, at least my 03 does not do it, soon my 08 won't either.

Personally, I have been very tempted to do this just getting in/out around the farm. In fields etc. On the highway I always wear a belt but damn that chime is annoying.

I disabled mine by unplugging it, the sensor for the airbag is different.

 

 

 

 

Taking out my center jump seat in preparation for my full console I found where to unplug the seatbelt chime. Pictures below.

 

Its the rear most plug.

Oh come on. You don't want to miss out on the opportunity to decompress a chest every few weeks do you? Chest tubes are so fun. Why discourage behavior that helps feed this fun?

 

Eh, after 9 years it's not really exciting anymore... the less I have to do the better! ha

I hope you guys never plan on driving a classic car, they dont have auto-headlights or seat belt chimes....you actually have to REMEMBER to put your seatbelt on and actually have to turn the knob to turn on your headlights...lmfao

 

Just because the chime is unplugged, does not mean people arent wearing their seatbelts on the road.

How about the damn door beeper. I have disabled them before. Does anyone know where the plug for that one is?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
