Seat Belt Chime - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Here's a cute story about that... this little car screams past me and disappears. In a couple of minutes I see headlights in the ditch shining toward the highway, the car flipped upside down, the passenger was in his seatbelt. Helped him out of the car, not a scratch, pretty cool.
The driver was 50 feet away in the ditch screaming about something... oh yeah, he was screaming because he was in pain. Lucky he didn't break his neck.

It was pretty cool, wish I could have seen it flip

Just wear the seat belt man. They really do save lives.

If ya put your seatbelt on, it will stop dinging.

Two of these in one week.

OK, sometimes this is a legit question.

When my Mazda Protege was getting old, the seatbelt light and beeper would periodically come on anyway, even with the belt fastened. I tried to find where that sound came from... I wanted to smash it with a screwdriver or something... LOL. But I never have had good directional hearing, so I gave up.

After a few months or so I grew numb to this, and it became one of those "old car" things that the next owner can deal with.

It may still have been a motivating factor to finally sell that car, haha

The seat belt warning chimes when I'm goin' to and from the drag strip because my Bogart wheels (four of them: front skinnies and 17" rear slicks) won't all fit in the back. One of 'em has gotta' ride in the passenger seat. I'm gonna' try ta' teach it to buckle up...

On fords you can shut it off by turning the key a certain way. I do it every other year with my new plow truck because I dont wear my seat belt when I plow commercial. My dodges are the same way.

just keep the passenger side seat buckled at all times. There's no law that says the passenger seat has to have someone in it before you can use the seat belt.

Two things. One: If you're talking about the seatbelt warning when you place a heavy package on the seat... Either buckle the seatbelt, or the better option, is to put the heavy object in the back of the car or the trunk if it will fit. (Or the passenger floor).

If you're talking about the seatbelt warning when you are driving, without your seatbelt:

If you want to kill yourself, fine, have at it. I don't think government regulations for automakers should be a deciding factor in your quest to be a dumbass. Or a chime and blinking red light (idiots seem to be immune to those anyway).

Think about it. It senses something in the latch mechanism. If you take apart the latch mechanism, and solder in a resistor or whatever it needs to complete the circuit, the car will think the seatbelt is fastened even when it's not. Both the light and chime will stay extinguished.

The car will also assume, when you are in a frontal collision, that since you are BUCKLED (you are buckled, right?--or is that your modified latch telling the computer it's buckled), that it can deploy the airbag at full force. It will be a huge sucker punch in the face for you, since you'd be a dumbass if you didn't wear your seatbelt when you are driving. Yeah, the two systems talk. They can't respond to the situation appropriately if you **** with them. Such a sucker punch that it could do thousands of dollars of damage to your face, chest, and/or potentially KILL you, since you decided not to put the buckle in the latch.

But whatever. You heard it on Camaro5.com first

enter your vehicle as you normally would. now, while sitting in the drivers seat and facing foward, take your right hand and reach up and over your left shoulder. grab that strap-like device and pull out and down. look for a shiny metal tab on the end of it. it should be fairly easy to find. now look by your right thigh and you will see an object jutting up between the seat and center console. you'll notice an elongated slit running across the top. insert the metal tab into this slit and push it in till you here an audible "click".
if done correctly the chime should now be off.

jshaf · 04-09-2011, 10:28 PM

couldn't you just keep it buckled and just sit on it all the time?, not sure it would work but just a thought

Ron66Vette&10SS · 04-10-2011, 12:34 AM
