lil'wizzy;624040It's getting annoying being pulled over because it's on and then arguing with the cop that I am and have been in fact buckled the entire time and that it's due to the boxes in the passenger seat. I have that godawful constant binger turned off so that's nice said:Why are you getting pulled over in the first place?
I know this is probably "unsafe" but how does one turn off the seat belt light?

JeepDrum; Unplugging the sensor from the seat screws the airbag system. That light shows up because the seat isn't plugged in (due to the seat having an airbag in it as well)... Yea I've doing the belt thing lately but I shouldn't have to do that... welcome to the new ages of cars where they have a sensor everywhere, even one for your ass.
GregMort13; Exactly that!
mattfl; Because it's illegal to drive without a seat belt in Washington. They don't bother me otherwise, but because they see the stupid light on my dash (and it's been overcast/raining a lot) it's like a beacon when they're rolling along side me. They all have Ford Explorers (2014/15 models) so they sit as high as I do and can see clear as day through my window (even though it's tinted).
The steps are in your manual.... you turn the key to the "on position" but don't start it... you have to unbuckle, buckle 3 times within 10 seconds... turn off the ignition... then it will only bing the once or twice at first start but won't do it ever again. While driving.
That's not how it works...I'm sure they run my plates and see my track record from the other two vehicles I use to drive.
I'm sure they run my plates and see my track record from the other two vehicles I use to drive. I use to get pulled over constantly for speeding or whipping around the corner in "unsafe conditions". I normally wear a black hoodie, and the inside of my Jeep is black they can't see if it's on/off but they see the light. I usually leave the engine running when they pull up. And when they try to argue with me I'm like "look the light is on, my belt is on, there's weight in the passenger seat. Write me at ticket and my lawyer will throw it out in court making it a waste of your time." They don't write me at ticket.
Your opinion, and your entitled to it.
Reason I'm saying it's "unsafe" is because the few things I've read about other cars is that it screws with the speed/timing/function of the airbags if someone where to actually be in the seat and unbuckled vs buckled. Haven't found that info on a Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler, but on GM/Ford/Kia
It's funny that when you can pass a Trooper in snow or flooded streets doing the posted speed limit that it's "driving too fast for conditions". Sorry your Crown Vic can't keep up?
I learned to drive in a '95 Pontiac Grand Am, fully loaded with 'wide' tires because that is when Pontiac was advertising "Wider is better" for tires... Got my license at 16, had 3 speeding tickets within two weeks, and 2 reckless for sliding/drifting corners on main roadways. Just being young and stupid.
Taught myself stick in a '87 Nissan Pulsar... yeaaaaaaaaa that was fun.
Went to a fully loaded '03 Malibu... more tickets... Got more "left roadway/reckless" in a '91 Bronco XLT... then just stupid stuff like "HOV Violation" and "Driving too fast for conditions" in my '08 Un-Sahara.
I've cleaned my act up significantly since my first Jeep. It's funny that when you can pass a Trooper in snow or flooded streets doing the posted speed limit that it's "driving too fast for conditions". Sorry your Crown Vic can't keep up?

What I'm looking for is a fix. Right now it's to buckle the stupid belt. Just didn't know if anyone on here knew how to disable the light.
