Does anybody know where the seat belt dinger is at? I want to rip it out and throw it in the dumpster. Thanks

 

There is a procedure in the manual to shut off the seat belt dinger, but if the battery is disconnected the default of ding will return.

Myself, I unplugged the harness under the seat that went to the seat belt. There is a 2 wire harness wrapped in black wire wrap tape, with a grey connector on it ( at least a '01 SCrew is was this color ). With the circuit open, the cluster thinks that the seatbelt is plugged in.

I do use my seatbelt EVERY time ( and I do mean Every time ), it is more so for when I start my truck and pull it out of the garage, to let it warm up a bit, I hate that sound myself

In almost 20 months I have not seen anything where this is a problem, and I have not seen a post where this can cause a problem anywhere ( i.e. air bags ) and the seat belt tensioner still works ( at least when I move too fast to get my cell phone it does ), so keep that in mind.

Good luck getting to a noise free startup !

 

When you first start the truck go ahead and push the release button for the seatbelt, it makes the dinging stop til the next time you start the truck.

 

king ranch dad is correct. On my '03, you just have to push the release button, and it stops dinging. When I go out to warm it up, I just start the engine, and push the seatbelt release button. No dinging.

 

for the info on pushing the release button. I always wear my seatbelt except for the 1 block trip down the alley to the gas station. that bell was driving me crazy.

 

I appreciate this info as I have a '01 Super Crew with a '03 on the way. I do wear my seatbelt, but when starting etc., it will be nice not to hear the dinging!
