seatbelt beep/chime

I have a 2003 Honda Accord. I would like to know if there is a way to
turn off the seatbelt beep/chime alert. My mom drives the car and she
never wears the belt anyway.

 

Get her to wear the belt, or ban her from driving the car.

 

I know you are going to hear a lot and will hate every response, but
*PLEASE* no passengers unbelted. I have seen too much tragedy among friends
of the family in even low speed accidents and many amazing stories of
survival with belts (how about a rollover at 75 mph and sliding across the
median on the roof?) among my own friends. One of my wife's friends is still
recovering from a slide-off a couple winters ago that fractured one of her
vertebrae; she was airlifted out but could have driven the car home if she
had been belted in... it was only damaged where her butt bent the door. I
can't stand any more senseless tragedy. If she is going to drive unbelted I
want no part of it. She knows how to silence the chime - she should do so or
not drive.

They make it tough to turn the beeper off these days.

You can go to the wreckers and cut a buckle off a wrecked car's belt, then
simply insert that into the receptacle. I'm not sure if that would work
past key-off, though. You might have to remove then reinsert the buckle
each time the car is started. It's a cheap and simple thing to try first,
anyway.

I'm told that unplugging the receptacle's electrical connector also works,
since it goes "open" when the buckle is inserted, just as if the connector
were unplugged. Again, the key-off thing may interfere with desired
operation, but it's also cheap, simple and easily reversible if it doesn't
work.

Another, more intrusive, way is to unsolder the beeper itself from the
multiplex control unit under the dash, but that would shut off most (all?)
of the warning noises.

All I did on my own car was to insert a wood screw through the hole in the
top of the beeper to keep the diaphragm from vibrating. That leaves me with
no key-in, door-open or other warnings, but I'm just fine with that since I
hate those noises anyway.

 

Hi,
Never wears seat belt? Must be stupid woman.

 

Just give her an overdose of morphine or something similar. This will
save the EMT's and other emergency personnel from having to scrape her
body off of the road, or off of another person's car when she gets in
a crash, and will save some innocent person the mental anguish of
having been in an accident that caused someone's death...

Or, just get her banned from driving, or riding as a passenger. She
has no place in an automobile if she can't be bothered to deal with
proper safety...

 

all I ask for is info on how to disable the FUCKING seatbelt noise. and
what do I get in response.....

Instead, what I get is some namby-pamby, snotty, high & mighty responses
on how I should tell my mother who's driven for 50 years without a
seatbelt to wear one and/or ban her from driving if she won't wear one.
She's already made her clearly choice in this regard.

I did not come to this NG to start a DEBATE or get a FUCKING LECTURE on
seatbelt usage.

If you can't provide an on-topic answer to this query and have an urge
to be a moral NAZI on seatbelt usage, its suggested that you don't
participate in that thread & refrain from answering any NAZI like comments.

 

You're a moron.

1.) This is usenet. People say whatever they want, and won't refrain
from anything. If you didn't want a lecture on seatbelt usage, you
shouldn't have asked your ignorant question in a newsgroup where people
know about cars and safety.

2.) Your grandmother's also a moron. People make bad choices all the
time, but when they maintain those choices in the face of clear, easy to
understand evidence that it's a bad choice, they're stupid. Your
grandmother falls in this category. No doubt if she rides a motorcycle,
she won't wear a helmet. (At least people who keep smoking *try* to
quit; they've got an addiction. Your granny has no excuse.)

3.) Some suggestions were made for resolving your problem, so quit
whining about the people who (mistakenly) wanted to help keep your
grandmother alive.

4.) **** off.

Do us all a favor, then: have your mother sign a global, universal
waiver that absolves anyone from any responsibility of healing her or
taking care of her should she be in a car accident.

Because, frankly, the choice she wants to make will impose on society as
we pay to take care of her as she lies there in a vegetative state. It
also imposes directly on the guy she's in the accident with, when her
lawyers go after him for ten million dollars just because that's how our
society works.

If you don't like society telling you how strongly it feels on this
issue, feel free to leave society.

Same to you, fucking moronic motherfucker! an absolute excuse for a
Fucking twit-head!!!

Hi,
You better not advertise your mother is stupid woman driver.
Where I live, if you don't wear seat belt while driving
cops give you ticket with hefty fine. Yet, there are many idiots
like your mom.

 

Absolutely! If you are smart you will stop complaining and take it to heart
before you bring senseless tragedy to your family. If you are not smart you
won't, and I won't have any part of it.

The question is only: are you smart enough? I hope so.

Mike

 

Okay. In most states it's worth $200.

You know that this may also fail the car when it gets inspected.

Never read /my/ response, did you?

Or are you a troll?

 

Hmmm I wonder how many of you preachers have never EVER went over the
posted speed limit.

Ive been hit by a train. Ive hit a tree,. At a stop-light been hit from
behind by a truck. Been t-boned by a guy not stopping at sign. Didnt
have a seatbelt on in any of those instances and never was injured.

 

Shut up, you WebTV retard!

 

In the last decade I have deliberately exceeded the speed limit by more than
3 mph three times - once by 7 mph on Arizona hwy 89 between Page and
Flagstaff to complete a car registration before the office closed (I did it
with 3 minutes to spare; ain't math wonderful?), once by 4 mph to cut a 12
hr drive from Flagstaff to Sacramento by 1/2 hour, and once by 10-20 mph
when the hospital called and told my wife she would have to hurry if she
wanted to say goodbye to her mother. In the last case I knew the time saved
would be insignificant, but some things are more important than logic. In
general, speeding is a fools' game.

Your driving record is appalling. Being hit from behind is often
unavoidable, but not watching for cross-traffic at intersections is a kid's
mistake. Hitting a tree is something nobody I know has done and running
afoul of a train is - well, it tells the whole story. With those sloppy
habits I can understand why you never belt up: you lack the good sense and I
suspect (from your accident history) you frequently drive while drunk. There
are lots of people who have had as many serious accidents as you but are not
posting because they were not so lucky... they are dead or incapacitated.

The OP should not have been surprised by the response. Would he be surprised
by a similar response if he had asked a tea forum what the best way is to
cover up the taste of drain cleaner in his tea? There is no good way to do
something stupid.

I think it would be a good idea to add more bells, chimes, and maybe some
whistles. If you get enough of them and make enough noise.maybe she will
fasten the seat belt and then it will be very quiet also she will more than
likely live longer. Seeing you ALWAYS wear yours, you wouldn't have any
problem.

See, simple cure.

From:
Ahh of course Im right though, beings thats all you have and the way you
seem to get upset & angered easily. You speed every time you drive so
quit your preaching. Id rather be on the road with non-belt users than
be on the road with a short-tempered rager like you.
