omarco Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Try this: After buckle and unbuckle for 20 times in 30 seconds, turn the key to OFF. Wait till all the light on the dash completely gone (it will dim off) before turn the key to ON. Finally, do the 20 times buckles again and turn the key to OFF. I didn't even care looking at the seatbelt light while I was doing it and it worked. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Just got mine working too...it took me a few tries. I'm glad I found this forum, since the chiming was one of the only annoying things I noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I only wished I had waited long enough so that my wife had noticed the annoying chime....that way maybe I would've gotten a little bit of that extra sex everyone has been talking about in this thread.....stupid me....DOH! I guess I'll have to go re-enable it now...hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardP Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS.............!!!!!!!!!! I did one sequence of 20 connect/disconnect: it is enough, maybe too much...See at the end. I finished with belt out and turned the power off. Here is the little detail that made the difference for me: I did it fast. After connecting the belt for the first time, I didn't wait for the end of the first serie of 6 chimes to disconnect the belt. On the contrary, I connected the belt 3 times during the first serie of 6 chimes, timing each connection to interrupt an ongoing chime and flashing light After the third connection, the chime stopped in mid-cycle and the light went out. The light didn't come back during the remaining sequence of 17 connect/disconnect. Already, I was pretty sure I had it. It was done. Now, I would not be surprised if it was not necessary to do 20 sequences. Could it be that the trick is to interrupt at least 3 ongoing chimes and flashing lights during the initial 6-chime sequence? Maybe someone who is still experimenting could try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 That would only disable it temporarily.... the next time you got in the car, it would be back to ding... ding... ding... ding.... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I got it to work. I followed the original instructions. My mistake had been doing it twice, which re-enables the chime. It was nice gliding into my parking spot today, unbuckling the seatbelt and NOT hearing that annoying sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zcarmob Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Well after three days since picking it up from the body shop and numerous times starting the vehicle the ding is back. Maybe since the battery was disconnected for a while the computer turned the ding off itself and today it felt it should turn the ding on today. hehe.

rao Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 It needs to be redone every time the battery is disconnected. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plunk10 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 so that I understand this correctly, I need to connect/disconnect 20 times BEFORE the chime begins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Bates Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 No. Start buckling/unbuckling as the chimes are going on. The chimes will be interrupted each time for the first few. Continue counting to 20. I believe that it would be best to count the seat belt indicator flashes as opposed to counting the mechanical actions. If the light goes out, the car knows the the buckle has been engaged, If the light comes on, it knows that the buckle has been disengaged. That should help those that might be going too fast or slow! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad21 Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Anyone disconnected their battery after successfully killing the idiot bell? Does it come back from the dead??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfoot Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 My third post! I tried this 1/2 dozen times with no luck. I'll try again and watch the light this time. I don't understand why I am finding this so hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llmask Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 did it once. thanks guys. as for the rest who are having problems, come to nyc, ill do it for you.... ...for 10$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundBoy Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Listen.... get in you aer, and start the buckle / unbuckle as soon as the chimes start. They will go on and off as you do it.. [b]BUT ONLY FOR THE FIRST 6 TIMES[/b], because doing it 6 times is the [b]temporary[/b] disable of the seatbelt chime. It will come back when you next use the car. Push ahead, and to 20 total buckle / unbuckle. Then turn on the car. worked for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Bates Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 [quote name='rao']Yes it does, that's what I said above.[/QUOTE] I know that the original behavior came back for me when my battery died over night. I wonder if this seatbelt setting will persist for a short period of having the battery disconnected?

rao Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 It does after at least a few minutes. I had the battery disconnected 3 times for various lengths of time when I installed my sub. Every time I had to redo the seat belt chime. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
