find a wrecked stratus, and buy the seat belt buckle, and leave it pluged in. or take the locking assembly apart, and run a wire connecting the ends. i figure it just works by passing a mild amount of power through the seat belt male end, completing the circuit.

mmm... the thing only chimes when you're moving without your seatbelt. don't move without your seatbelt, and it won't chime. or find the buckle if you insist on not wearing it, that'd be the easiest way to do it.

thanks for the advice man...i thought for sure there would be an easier way to disconnect it though...like disconnect some wire or something...replaceing the seatbelt is too much work for my lazy ***..lol

actually, I was thinking about it this morning, and it seems like it only goes off when the belt is out of the spool so far, like the light goes off after I get the belt halfway down, if that is in fact that case, then you're going to have a helluva time disabling it I think. The switch would be somewhere in the pillar, probably simply an electrical contact on the drum with the belt on it that closes when the spool has rotated so far. Or something spiffier than that.
