Seatbelt warning/turning it off?

Anybody have a idea on how to get that stupid noise turned off (without wearing my seatbelt)?

If NOT...can anyone give me some idea on where to buy a replacement seatbelt insert to just stick it in and leave it there?

 

The dealership wanted to charge me $50 to do it. Nothing I tried that worked on other years worked for mine so I got 2 buckles from a wrecking yard for free.

 

My dealer turned both sides off for no charge. They did try to talk me out of it but my lab rides shotgun and trips the sensor. Had the drivers turned off for shits and giggles.

 

One good way to keep it from going off is to wear your damn seatbelt because there is no valid excuse not to.

Unless of course you like the thought of the highway patrol notifying your loved ones of your needless death.

 

Well considering that NO ONE in my family wears one...and considering that I live in a state that doesn't require motorcycle riders to wear a helmet..i think its kinda stupid for them to require me to wear a seatbelt...don't you?

 

Did u get them from a wrecked Toyota...or did any brand work? stupid question I guess...

 

No. I don't.

The law is not the reason I wear a seatbelt and that is probably the case for most. The reason I wear a seatbelt is a very simple understanding of basic physics. Add to that my personal experience of responding to crash scenes where drivers and passengers have been needlessly mangled after being thrown about the vehicle like a rag doll.

Motorcycle riders and helmets are a completely unrelated and irrelevant topic.

 

Darwin would be proud.

 

Unless you're driving an up-armored version in full kit, wear your seat belt.

 

When I'm doing 15 mph down a logging road, I have no need for the belt.

 

None of the smokers I know have died of lung cancer yet , that whole thing is overblown too

 

Yes, from a Toyota. Take a pic of the buckle and walk around a yard. Don't remember what model I got mine from but it wasn't a Tacoma.

 

This. I'm in EMS as well.

I think it's totally each individual's decision to wear a belt. Your outcome in a wreck will be better with it and worse without it, No question. And yes, this is even true at 15mph.
I do think they should be required when others are in the car with you. In that case the decision to not wear one puts them at risk as well.

As to the OP's question, find someone in your area with eBay techstream and make friends!

 

dealer turned mine off as well.

 

Not all people from Kentucky have this mindset...

 

No, really the stupid thing is not wearing one. Like really, really idiotic.

 

:ibtl: as always with these threads though I think there are valid reasons to disable it. Farm/ranch work and dogs to start with.

That horse clearly wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
