Default Seat Belt signal

Anyone know how to get rid of that signal that goes off if you dont wear your seat belt (other than wearing your seatbelt). It bugs the crap out of me if i'm just sitting in the parking lot with the car on.

not everybody still has their manual. i know i dont.. found this on the web-

You can Deactivate the Belt Minder two ways. First, you can deactivate it temporarily for your current "run cycle", that is after you have started your car and it's still running. Second, you completely deactivate the Belt Minder so that it never reminds you again, or at least until your reactivate it...

The first method, temporary deactivation, or one time disable: After you have started your vehicle, buckle and then un-buckle your safety belt. Be sure to buckle back up.... This will disable the Belt Minder only for that ignition cycle.

The second method, permanent deactivation: There are 9 steps you need to follow to deactivate or activate your Belt Minder system. Before doing so, make sure that:
The parking brake is set.
The truck/car is in Park (automatic), Neutral (manual).
The ignition is OFF.
All doors are closed.
The driver's safety belt is un-buckled.
The parking and headlights are OFF.
Then follow these 9 steps:

Turn the ignition switch to ON, but DO NOT START.
Wait for the safety belt warning light to go OFF(1-2 minutes).
Steps 3-5 MUST be completed within 60 seconds!

Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
Turn on the headlights, turn off the headlights.
Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
After step 5, the Safety Belt Warning Light will be turned on for 3 seconds.

Within 7 seconds of the safety belt warning light turning OFF, buckle then un-buckle the safety belt.
This will disable the Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or enable the Belt Minder if it is currently disabled.

Confirmation of the disabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds.
Confirmation of the enabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds, followed by 3 seconds with the safety belt light off, then followed by flashing the safety belt light 4 times per second for 3 seconds again.
After confirmation, the deactivation/activation of the Belt Minder procedure is complete.

i dont have my stock seats or seat belts so that wouldnt help me much. also, cutting the wire wouldnt work. it's a plug that goes into the bottom of the seat. it's much easier to turn off the chime.

You don't cut the friggin wire greggie.. that'd be kinda silly given that you can disable the SOFTWARE based alarm via the 1 minute of actual work it takes to tell that to your car.

It does work, takes about 5 minutes of practice to pull it off and is super duper handy for cars like mine that don't have stock seats or belts or even the wiring to support them. I thought ahead far enough to read the manual and disable the chime before I put racing seats in. If you unplug the harness from the driver seat, you should get the same effect since the sensor is then unpowered but, disabling it in software is so much better.

he who cuts a wire to solve a problem has never heard of a switch.
