I know your gonna sayjust wear your seatbelt, but when I am riding around town I dont always like it on. Is there anything I can do to get rid of that hideous beep.

 

there is a very confusing set of steps you go through to do it.. its located in your owners manual.. at least it was in my L..
Good luck..

Find the beep and disconnect it. In my 77 Firebird, it was just a little buzzer that looked like a relay under the dash. I un-hooked it and all was well in the world again.

 

if you want to temporarily stop it, just press the release button and it will stop until you turn the truck on/off again.

Otherwise, go trough the ritual sacrifice in the manual and watch that you don't kill anyone when you throw the horseshoe over your left shoulder during the process.

 

I know what you mean about that beep. It drives me crazy as well. Ken800 is right. I just hit my seat belt release button, and it shuts it up until I turn the truck off again.

 

do this!

but it left out a few steps..

you put left foot in, you put your left foot out, you put your left foot in and you shake it all about.....

 

It's in your owner's manual. Probably the same steps as the link previously posted.

 

the link doesnt' work. but like said above, its in your manual

 

here, for those who lost the manual or are too lazy to look it up (like me) i copied it. enjoy..........

Important Notes:
Follow these instructions at your own risk! Not wearing your seatbelt may be illegal in your area. Always be sure you're aware of your local laws, and wearing your seatbelt!

Procedures
You can Deactivate the Belt Minder two ways. First, you can deactivate it temporarily for your current "run cycle", that is after you have started your car and it's still running. Second, you completely deactivate the Belt Minder so that it never reminds you again, or at least until your reactivate it...

The first method, temporary deactivation, or one time disable: After you have started your vehicle, buckle and then un-buckle your safety belt. Be sure to buckle back up.... This will disable the Belt Minder only for that ignition cycle.

The second method, permanent deactivation: There are 9 steps you need to follow to deactivate or activate your Belt Minder system. Before doing so, make sure that:
The parking brake is set.
The truck/car is in Park (automatic), Neutral (manual).
The ignition is OFF.
All doors are closed.
The driver's safety belt is un-buckled.
The parking and headlights are OFF.
Then follow these 9 steps:

Turn the ignition switch to ON, but DO NOT START.
Wait for the safety belt warning light to go OFF(1-2 minutes).
Steps 3-5 MUST be completed within 60 seconds!

Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
Turn on the headlights, turn off the headlights.
Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
After step 5, the Safety Belt Warning Light will be turned on for 3 seconds.

Within 7 seconds of the safety belt warning light turning OFF, buckle then un-buckle the safety belt.
This will disable the Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or enable the Belt Minder if it is currently disabled.

Confirmation of the disabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds.
Confirmation of the enabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds, followed by 3 seconds with the safety belt light off, then followed by flashing the safety belt light 4 times per second for 3 seconds again.
After confirmation, the deactivation/activation of the Belt Minder procedure is complete.

 

Thanks for all the help guys, I did the nine steps and finally got that ting to shut up. Tnaks again

 

Did you say three Hail Mary's.. and do the Hokey Pokey too?

sorry, just couldnt resist it... you'd think it be easier to make some kind of a switch to just turn it off.. but no, lets make the owner stand on their head to do it..
