I took Froys advice & it worked perfectly on my 2005 Ram. The only thing I didn't get was a ding to indicate it was programmed properly. Thanx Froy

Yea, Froy's method worked. Thanks Froy. Did it on my 2007 truck per the owner's manual, but I guess Dodge is too cheap to provide that anymore. Just bought my fourth Dodge in a row, but they won't have to bother with me anymore. My 2007 1500 hemi will run and pull circles around my new 2500 hemi with the screwed up drinkholders,screwed up headrests, 2007 drives better with 178,00 miles on it, doors and tailgate are so thin it is pitiful. I know it was stupid to buy without seeing first. Seats won't hardly even slide forward and back. Couldn't even put a cheap cover over jack handle. Very disappointed. When you don't listen to your customers is when you won't have any customers.

On my 2008 dodge ram ,i simple put a jumper wire from one seat belt wire to the other.
On my 2013 dodge ram , that did not work! It made the seat belt light and the air bag light stay on . I also move trailers around measure parking lots getting in and out alot. I don't need this. It probably needs a resistor to jumper from one wire to the other. I hope to figure this out soon.

When i`m in a simular situation as yours, (in/out in/out all the time) i just snap the seat buckle together then tuck it down into the seat a little bit. Then when i need the seatbelt again, i just grab it out of the seat. Not sure if thats possible with the new 2013`s or not, but you can do what i`ve done, that would save you alot of aggravation i would think. I`m not sure modifying your electronics would be such a good idea with these newer vehicles. Myself, i`m not willing enough to chance loosing my warranty over such a simple remedy.
