---do you guys know if the same sequence will work from the 99-2004 mustang to the s197?

Thanks. Good info. But, I have to ask...How did you ever figure that procedure out? Or, is it an official Ford procedure?

 

[vitesse06]

im a dummy the procedure is actually in the 2005-2006 manual.........the first sequence i posted only applies to 99-04's

 

[bigcat]

i was just going to suggest that..... you can do only one side, or both sides.....

I wonder if that would work on my 02 Exploder.

 

[bigcat]

for the 02, to do it temporarily, you can just push the seatbelt release button, and it thinks you clicked the seatbelt. i dont know about a permanent disable procedure

The disable feature is always in the owner's manual.

Do you guys actually drive without your belts on, or is there another reason for that you want to disable the chime?

 

[wally10]

I'll have to ask the same question.....why ????
If I'm wearing my belt and the passenger isn't ...then I have to pull all my savings out to replace the hood and the windshield because my passenger went flying thru the windshield and may have scuffed my hood. Don't you have a family or friends that actually care about you?? why don't you just drill a pinhole in your brakeline and see how far you can go??

i disabled my chime, but !always! wear the sealtbelt.
however, if i am driving 15 feet at 3mph, i dont want that damned chime going off. it irritates me. so its off. if you need a loud beeping to remind you to put your belt on, you have issues

Here's an easier procedure:

1. Grab seatbelt
2. Insert seatbelt into socket
3. Be safe
