jamguitarist Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Did a search, didn't find this issue. My seatbelt chime is randomly going off even when both passengers are buckled in Any ideas on this that dont involve an expensive sensor? I vaguely remember reading about a way to disable the chime through a process of licking and unlocking the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silinc3r Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am going to go out on a limb and say the search involved one attempt and then a throw of the towel. Silinc3r's 05 SWP GT/Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkinslow Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Disabled mine via the "buckle and unbuckle repeatedly" method and haven't heard a chime since. Works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamguitarist Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yep. My search was short. It involved a 45 minute obnoxious drive to work, a 15 minute break spent searching on the forum(should have googled instead) and a 2 minute post that got me the answers I needed. Thanks.

jamguitarist Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I just saw my typo... Haha not even going to fix that. Thanks for the links! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldsoda Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 yeah the only time searching the forum directly is useful is if you know its a recent discussion; or you want the latest threads discussing that topic, since search results sorts by most recent post date. try the stickys first though... the post you were looking for was under the cheap/free mods post. if its something generic or common, google is the best way to search any forum, e.g. "site:legacygt.com seat belt chime" or just "seat belt chime subaru forum". I find that throwing in the keyword "forum" usually brings the best results and not just marketing/garbage results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oODanKNesSOo Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 For future searchers: turn key to "on" position with out starting engine. Fully latch and unlatch (button clicky) 20x simultaneously. Has to be the full 20; no more, no less. Turn key to "off" and enjoy chimeless illegal/dangerous driving! Lmmfao *may take a time or two.. however if you do it right then try again you will RE-enable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc6 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I did that to the point of breaking the electronics in the seat belt clicker. My next step was permanently delete the chime. Years later when I go to reprogram these cool flip keys I have no chime to confirm I did it right or not. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunny5280 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Has anyone ever decided to wear their seatbelt due to the constant reminder from the vehicle? I can't think of anyone who has done so. They merely buckle the seatbelt to stop the chime. Meanwhile those of us who put a gallon of milk on the passenger seat get annoyed to death by the nanny or disable the chime altogether (where possible).

jamguitarist Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 This chime is going off for my passenger seat, when buckled or unbuckled, with or without someone or anything on the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny5280 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I am aware of that. My comment wasn't directly related to your original question. Merely a comment on vehicle manufacturers insistence to have the chime ring endlessly if the occupant doesn't fasten their seatbelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamguitarist Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Manufacturers are probably afraid to be sued if they don't put them in. "How was I supposed to know to wear my seatbelt?! The car never warned me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc6 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Merc6 you do the flip keys? Yes, Have alarm so not pressed to get it working right away. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k280/merc6/LGT/6AF541D5-8728-4CCC-94E8-D400AE8E65EB_zpsw4bgiobn.jpg~original Has anyone ever decided to wear their seatbelt due to the constant reminder from the vehicle?

Both the white pieces that close the contacts broke in the belt clickers and the entire passenger seat was not compatible for my car at all. Passenger seat situation rectified, Drivers still doesn't work and light stays on if belt is on or not. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
