Just did mine. I slow cruise the job site a lot of the day in my truck and other superintendents are constantly hopping in and out of shotgun... The seatbelt chimes were driving me nuts! For those of you too lazy to open up the manual to page 181, here's how you disable the BeltMinder chime:
-------------------------------
Before following procedure make sure that:
-parking brake is set
-gearshift is in park
-the ignition is in off position
-the driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do NOT start the engine)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (approximately one minute)
STEP 3 MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 30 SECONDS AFTER SAFETY BELT WARNING LIGHT TURNS OFF
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 3 times, ending in the unbuckled state
(after step 3, the restraint system warning light (airbag light) will be turned on for 3 seconds)
4. Within approximately 7 seconds of the light turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.
This will disable the BeltMinder feature for that seating position. As confirmation, the restraint system (seatbelt) warning light will flash 4 times per second for 3 seconds.
-------------------------------
At this point, you're golden. Do the same thing on the other side and then your seatbelt-chime-woes are a thing of the past. The serenity of silence is well worth the short time this process takes.
You can re-enable the seatbelt chime at any time by repeating this process.
As stated above, this process is a better alternative to putting a dummy latchplate into the buckle to avoid the chime, because using a dummy latchplate may adversely affect your airbag system.
****FordRaptorForum.com, it's staff members, and affiliates do not encourage you to operate your Raptor without wearing a seatbelt. This post is merely a how-to summary from the instruction manual; drivers/owners choosing to follow this procedure do so at their own risk. Please see manual (p. 181) for all applicable warnings and safety instructions.
hmmm does this work on an 08 super duty? my dads always bitching about it in his truck.
