Default 04 ram 1500 5.7 seatbelt chime issue

I have pulled #23 fuse and went through the instructions for resetting the computer plus the 3 times on/off buckle trick but the chime still comes on after about 10km hr for 2 or 3 minutes. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A SUGGESTION OUT THERE? IT' REALLY ANNOYING. I WANT IT GONE!!!!

Need a scanner to see what the various modules think the problem is.

Any suggestions on type? I've asked Lordco and have prices anywhere from 50.00 to 600.00! One told me the seatbelt issue was a different scanner. My first car in 67 was a 55 Desota with a 354 Hemi. I never had any of these problems. It ran just perfect haha!

Check with your local parts stores, they may be able to scan if for you, for free.

I was trying to avoid the cost. But I guess these computers nowadays have me over a barrel. Thanks.

There is a sequence you can perform that will stop that chime. Look it up on YouTube, I have followed it and no more chime. Something like, turn the vehicle to accessory with the driver seat belt connected, turn the vehicle off, turn the vehicle to accessory and before the seat belt light goes off disconnect and reconnect the driver seat belt three times ending with it connected turn the vehicle off and it might chime. But theres a video or written instructions on how to stop the chime the light will still flash every so often though. Sorry, I did this back in 2015 can't remember specifics.

Oh, sorry if it didn't work. Then just close the circuit on the seat belt sensor, maybe try a jumper first and see if it stops. If so make a permanent closed loop
