seat belt chime,

[josh ryan 3]

I have tried to turn off the seat belt chime in my 2005 sport trac the way the manual said to, but that didn't work after trying for over and hour. Anyone have any ways as to how to get it to stop beeping.javascript:insertAtCursor(document.forms['MESSAGEFORM'].MESSAGE,':throwup:')

Josh- Follow the BeltMinder deactivating procedure with this exception:



3. Buckle, then unbuckle, the safety belt THREE times, ending with the

safety belt unbuckled. This can be done before or during BeltMinder

warning activation.



(Some manuals say NINE times) Three clicks worked for me.



* Try this procedure in NEUTRAL if this does not work. GL

PLEASE, ALWAYS USE SEAT BELTS WHEN DRIVING.

Thanks Steve and Josh for reminding me to do this.



I always wear my seatbelt but when I'm moving the trailer around or just need to move the truck around the yard, etc., it gets annoying.

I bought mine used. Where can I find the full instructions at?

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

Scott, here's what you do:



With the vehicle in Park or Nuetral and parking brake set (if manual transmission)



Turn the key in the on/run position



Buckle and unbuckle three times



Turn headlight switch on and off



Buckle and unbuckle three times



Wait to see seatbelt light flash.



My seatbelt light didn't falsh like it says in the book but it still worked. Steve or Josh correct me if I forgot anything, going by memory since my wife ahs the truck right now. I don't think I forgot anything but ya never know my memory isn't what it used to be.

Thanks Steve for the actual directions, I don't have them with me. I didn't have the e-brake set and it still worked. Oh well, atleast I got rid of that annoying beltminder noise. Thanks again!!!

This procedure worked on my 3 Rangers and works on my 04 ST with one exception. If the belt is not buckled, I will get one set of chimes and then it will not chime again. Is that normal or should it never chime like on my Rangers?
