Does anybody know how to disable that damn dinging seatbelt sensor when you dont put on your seatbelt?? Can you just take apart the seatbelt connector and unplug it or something??? I cant take the dinging anymore! lol :steering

i believe the owners manual states how to do it. Or you can take it to the dealer and they can do it for you.

Wear your belt dude........

I was in my Moms '02 Grand Marquis last month and it went off, and I was like WTF? (MK8's don't have that) But it does serve a purpose

I disable it on race days since I wear my Schroth belts.

I'll I do is click the stock beth together once, and then unclick and leave - it shuts up the 'reminder ding' until I start the car again.

if you mean - to work on your car with the doors open - use a screw driver and flip the lock mechanism in the door so it thinks it's closed.

just remember to pull the door handle to open the lock again before you close the door.

didnt someone say they wanted to turn of the seat belt sensor
so im being a seat belt cop dont do just dont do it

keep in mind, you have an airbag in front of your face that you cannot disable (federal safety act) you don't need either one until you need them both, however, the acceleration rate of the bag opening towards your person flying at it will end you...wear your belt please....love ya'... mean it...

 

[JES_LS]

Look I never leave a parking space without putting on my belt.
But I hate, to have the warning keep going off, when I'm not moving the car yet (cause the stupid older child forgot his lunch again or somesuch issue). OR if I'm only moving the car in the driveway to move something else, its very annoying.

Like I said, before there are three things I never do.
1 ride my cycle with out helmet, gloves, jacket, boots and long pants.
2 take off without a proper run through the checklist.
3 Drive over the curb and down the street without putting on my seat belt.

so the chime is just a PITA for me

I believe that the air-bag will not deploy if the seatbeat is not engaged. It's all tied to the SRS system, including the position sensor in the driver's sear.

 

[2001LS8Sport]

That makes perfect sense Quik. After all, it's called a SUPPLEMENTAL Restraint System.

yes i agree with this guy

 

[fordtechguru]

yep, quick, you are right... only noticed his post about unplugging it, which, conjured up thoughts of jumpering it or the like... seen it before..then the srs system would activate... over 35 mph of course and yada yada... anyhow, i digress...

Does anybody know how to disable that damn dinging seatbelt sensor when you dont put on your seatbelt?? Can you just take apart the seatbelt connector and unplug it or something??? I cant take the dinging anymore! lol :steering

If you notice when you start the car the little red seatbelt light stays solid for about 30 seconds. Just plug in your seatbelt and unplug it. The light stays off and the chime stays off. Its that easy. That chime is there to remind us all (including me) that we are idiots for not wearing it. So if you dont want to take the awful step of wearing it, make it routine to plug and unplug it when you start the car.
