How to disable seatbelt chime

[helifino16]

I couldn’t find this anywhere so I figured I’d post it. If you have a big dog riding shotgun or are driving around on your farm where a seatbelt isn’t needed and the seatbelt chime is bugging you it is easy to disable.

Ever since I had my Bronco in the shop where they did a bunch of ForScan (like) updates, I have not been able to use the procedure in the manual (Page 56, if you want to look) to disable this. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting this alternative solution. Worked like a charm.

I'm more likely to wear the seatbelt if I don't have that chime nagging me to do so. (My choice, not enforced). Much appreciated!

Why didn’t you just have the no seat-belt charm disabled in FORSCAN when you had it in? (That’s what I did)

Edit: Maybe because it was the dealership that did it….

This doesn’t seem to work for the raptor. Anybody know a work around yet?

Bummer forscan may be your only options then. Are you waiting for the light to come back on? It seems like forever. I wonder if the Raptor has it in a settings menu either on dash or on the touchscreen.

So....just in case, how do you UNDO this (get it back to factory setting)?

Never saw it in the settings, I waited a long time and the light never turned off let alone come back on. Tried numerous times and failed.

Same procedure will reenable the chime. I did it in my Flex for driving around jobsites

It seems like forever when you’re waiting on it. Maybe ford for wise to it.

Thanks for the info. Did it tonight.

I’ve always equated this process to trying to say yes while shaking my head no. However, backing up to trailers or backing trailers is a bad time to have the truck screaming at me. Damnit, I know I’m not belted in! I’m in on this wheneverthehell Bronco arrives.

Done. Thank you for the process.

Same issue raptor and it doesn’t work.

1) Sit in the seat you want to disable the chime for. (you will have to do it individually for all seatbelts you want to disable)

2) Push the ignition button with the key in the truck and without pressing the brake pedal. (So the ignition is on without the truck running)

3) Wait for the seatbelt light to go out.

4) As soon as the seatbelt light goes out buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt 3 or 4 times until the seatbelt light comes back on.

5) Buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt one last time, the seatbelt light will flash a few times letting you know you did it right.

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

It takes about 45-60 seconds for the light to turn off initially. It worked for my driver and passenger seats, but not for the back seats. Which is probably good so my kids don't sneak their belts off!
