rakkasan1012003,

The instructions are in the owners manual you received with your vehicle. Let me know if you can't find it and I will send you the info.

The reason I asked is becuase I am in Iraq and I got wounded so I have a 12 hours shift as an RTO, and I am boried! plus I am going to practice on a HUMMV seat belt.

dude practiceing on a hummer seat belt will do a whole lot of nadda. Those seatbelts have no electronic sensors or anything in them except a simple little locking mechinism. So you are comparing apples to oranges. As our dodges complete a circuit which in turn stops the chime. If it is that much of an issue to wear your seatbelt you can do 1 of 2 things, 1. Ignore the chime cause it will stop or 2 connect your center seatbelt to the driver's and it will stop. Just remember though if you get in an accident and get injured Tricare may not pay for your medical bills if you were not wearing your seatbelt. I also hear seatbelts are a good thing, but that could just be a rumor. Just a thought.

Hell I've read the manual 20 times and still can't get my door locks to unlock at the same time, but I accidentally somehow turned off my lights when I set/turn off the alarm.

hey rocketscientist oops sorry rakkasan just to let you know I did answer your question. Your chime will stop after a little bit or you can connect your center belt to the driver's and it will stop.

i didnt know there was a way to disable it? i normally wear mine unless im at the deer lease and then i just connect my middle one like baddodge said but it would be nice not to have to do that when you dont really need a seatbelt but still dont want to listen to the beep. my dads doesnt do that so it must be an 04-newer thing.

P.S. how did you get wounded (im guessing/hoping it wasnt really serious since theyre only giving you a 12 hour break from the action)? i hope your doing alright i admire all our soldiers over there fighting for us and our country. thanks and hope you get better.

Here ya go man, This is in the manual just so you all know

1. Get in the truck and buckle the seat belt.

2. Insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position, but do not start.

3. Wait 6-10 seconds for the initialization sequence to complete (Seatbelt light to go off)

4. Unbuckle the seat belt and rebuckle it three times, ending with the
belt buckled

5. There should be a single chime to confirm the seatbelt chime has
been "toggled".

6. Turn the key off.

This allows you to drive
with the seat belt unbuckled without having to listen to the chime
forever. It also does not disable the the seat belt warning light on
the dash. If you want to turn in back on look at the manual and it will tell you that too.

Good luck Worked for me, I just hated to buckle up to go 3 blocks so I disabled it, I still always wear my belt though
