how to turn off seatbelt chime

bubba2u · May 24, 2009

mod 3: turn OFF FASTEN seat belt CHIME - i wear my seat belt for the most part, for i've been in one too many accidents in my lifetime. BUT to have that chime just continually go off, even pulling forward or backward is just freaking annoying. so:

(price: free)

Here are the steps to deactivate the chime (picked this up from another forum, should be in the owner's manual, too):

1. turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and buckle your seat belt while sitting in the drivers seat.

2. turn the ignition key to the ACCESSORY/RUN position (engine does not need to be running), and wait for the seat belt warning light to turn off.

3. unbuckle and then re-buckle your seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending with theseat belt buckled. then start the jeep. (i don't know if starting is necessary, but i did it)

4. turn the ignition key to the OFF position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming.

next time you start the jeep, you'll hear the initial fasten seat belt chimes, but the continuous chiming reminder will be turned off. the light in the dash will remain on, though.

If the light bugs you or you don't want/can't disable chime do what I did. I got a seat belt buckle from a junkyard and put it my seat belt. Stops the chiming.

We primarily use our Jeep on the ranch to check cattle and fence. Seatbelts are a pain when you are in and out as much as we are. (Yes, we still wear them on the highway) Just don’t want to hear the chime in the pasture

tuesday last, one of our drivers was fired,,
why, he had the seat belt pulled behind the head rest and locked...
the person in the back seat was a D.O.T. inspector:facepalm:

Sledgehammer. Pickaxe. Shotgun (slugs recommended...buckshot too collateral). In a pinch, steel toed boot.

Other than that, I say go for it. :thumb:

I turned my seatbelt dinger off the first week I had it. I can't stand those things. I wear my seatbelt for the most part. But that day that I don't wear it I shouldn't have to here the dinger. I will agree that it's a good idea to wear it, I'm not saying that. Im just saying that if I don't want to wear it, my ears should not be punished.

I have a cabin in the woods. It is 1/8 mile from the gate. I don't want to wear the belt for that short distance on a dirt road only I travel. The only hazard is deer cross it regularly. Not a problem though. I never exceed 5mph. Raises too much dust.

Amen, brother. Not sure if I'd quit riding because of it, but I'd definitely have to give it some thought.

If I hit a deer while going 5mph I will just have to live with the consequences........

Man I can agree with that, but

What if you swerve-REAL SHARP and hita tree, or roll over !!!

But that will never happen--right ?

Remember these ?

I still use my stock seatbelts, but when we're off-road and get near tough areas--ON THEY GO -

I'm not very anal about most safety, but having been in several roll overs, I know what can happen-so sometimes my wife gets a little upset, when I hookup the harness's-:crash:

Does this method work for a 2012?

Try it :whistling:

Just be warned. Doing it wrong your jeep might explode

TreeClimber1 · Dec 10, 2011

Y'all are stupid.
Just wear your seatbelt.

And for what it's worth, the seat belt buzzer plug is under the front two seats. Unplug it, and jumper the two pins together. Bypasses the seat belt warning system completely, but leaves the buckle available for use.

passenger seatbelt?

Does this disable the passenger seatbelt at the same time? I dont necessarily want to disable the driver, just the passenger. My boxer loves riding shotgun but the alarm is so annoying, and I once plugged the seatbelt in, and put the belt behind the headrest, it slipped and locked and got stuck. So im not interested in that again. Just wondering if there is a different method for the passenger seat, or if this disables both?

This is my issue also. And my pup is only 15 pounds. In my 2008 he did not set off any alarms now in my new 2015 if he sits just right he sets off the belt alarm. Bought a seatbelt leash to plug into it so that it will no longer go off but I am worried that if there is an accident the airbags will kill him because the Jeep will think there is someone in the seat. Just think he would be safer without the airbags going off. Yes I know he would be in trouble either way but it just makes me feel better that he does not get hit by the power of the airbags. I always wear my belt and make all my passengers do the same and have no real need to turn off the buzzer except for when the dog is riding shotgun.
