I have an 05 Caravan the freaking seat belt chime drives me crazy. I live in a non seatbelt law state and I mostly wear it anyway, but when I go around the corner I don't usually. Can I disable it at all?

 

you can unplug the seat belt switch and jumper it so it thinks the belt is buckled.

 

Is there a thread on this. I will try the search feature but if you have a link, it would be appreciated. Thank you for your response.

 

this is the thread. What do you need to know? The switch is part of the buckle. Pull back the inner side cover and there will be a connector for the pretensioner and a connector for the buckle switch.


Pretensioner connector looks like this......



switch connector looks like this.......


CAV - CIRCUIT - FUNCTION / 1 - R57 18LG/GY - DRIVER SEAT BELT SWITCH SENSE....2 - R59 18LG/TN - DRIVER SEAT BELT SWITCH GROUND


disconnect the seat belt switch and jump the terminals to see if the chiming stops.

 

try this, it worked for me for disabling the seat belt Chime (yes I wear my seat belt, but every now and then my wife takes her's off to give the kids a sippy or start to clean up vomit before I can pull over from my daughter who gets car sick)


Step 1 Get in the driver's seat of the car. Put the key in the ignition, but don't turn it on. Buckle your seat belt.

Step 2 Pull a bunch of seat belt slack out so you can have some room to work.

Step 3 Turn the key to the on position (you don't need to start the car) and wait for the seat belt warning light to turn off.

Step 4 Unbuckle the seat belt, and wait for the seat belt warning light to go on.

Step 5 Buckle the seat belt and wait for the seat belt warning light to go off.

Step 6 Repeat the above two steps, buckling and unbuckling the seat belt 2 more times ending up with the seat belt buckled. Be sure to wait for the light to turn on or off each time. You must complete this within 60 seconds. If you hear a chime while doing this, turn off the car and start over.

Step 7 Turn off the car. When you do, a single chime will be heard to let you know you have successfully completed the programming. If you don't hear the chime, you'll have to start the entire process over again. This seems absolutely crazy, I know, but that's the way it's done. Good luck!

(one note make sure you are waiting each time you unbuckle the belt to see the warning light, then rebuckling and waiting again till the warning light goes off, or at least for mine)

Also note, the seat belt light will still be on, just no chime

 

Awesome, thank you guys. I will try both. I search the forum and didnt find anything so I appreciate it.

 

Just did the unbuckle and buckle thing and heard the chime. God I hope that took care of it. I will test drive it soon.

 

Working from home and still on the clock so I cannot try it now.

 

glad to help, hope it works

 

Where'd you find that TS? I've never heard of that before.
