Seatbelt ding-ding-ding - 2005 Accord

Is there anyway to turn off the ding ding ding seatbelt warning on the 95
Accord EX? The light is fine, just the sound. Thanks

 

1) Buckle belt behind your back.
2) Go to wrecker's. Cut buckle off old belt. Insert that into receptacle as
desired.

 

Why not find the source of the ding ding ding and disconnect it?

 

use it the way it was designed...

 

Seat belts save lifes, so buckup!

 

Then go kill yourself, taking care not to injure any innocents...

 

Wear it stupid!!!!

 

Yes, thanks. I buckle everywhere. Everywhere, except, my 140 home
neighborhood that I drive 2mph mailbox to mailbox to deliver association
fliers (not in the mailbox of course for you postal inspectors) and the
seatbelt straps me in so well, I cannot reach out far enough to make a safe
delivery. So, for the 2 hour period once per month, I was hoping to to be
ding free.

Ha. RodgerDodger shut you yahoos down... lol

 

The smartest way to disable the sound is to wear the seatbelt. That way you
won't become disabled.

As someone said, buckle it behind you. No problem.

Harder than it sounds. It means removing the Integrated Control Module from
its (very good) hiding place, and putting a wood screw in the speaker to
stop the diaphragm from vibrating. This is what I've done with my Integra.

I was going to just unsolder the speaker and replace it with a resistor,
but I don't know how to determine the rating of resistor that would be
needed.

 

You gonna moralize or are you gonna answer his question? Go take your
politics to alt.autos.toyota.

 

Why would you need to replace the speaker with a resistor?

 

I supposed that the module would expect some sort of current and resistance
to be present in that location, otherwise problems may arise.

 

I suggest swapping the wiring on the plug under the seat to swap the
normally open/normally closed contacts. That way it will only annoy people
who buckle/use the seat belt. If you just unplug the connector, it will flag
an SRS error which will have to be manually cleared.

 

If you just removed the speaker from the circuit I do not see this causing
any problems, I doubt the engineers would design a "speaker missing detect
circuit". This is a lot easier than using your method of killing the sound.
A speaker is considered an inductive load and the resistance would
essentially be zero.

Can't blame "TeGGeR®" for erring on the side of caution, but I'm inclined to
agree with you.
However, suppose the "speaker" is piezo? Probably your main argument still
applies, but
the resistance would be way high, rather than nearly zero.

 

Ignorance breeds caution, hence my decision to simply hand-tighten a short
#8 wood screw against the metal diaphragm through the hole in the speaker's
plastic top. I can undo this any time I want.

In this case, it is. It's the same sort of "speaker" you find on computer
modems and motherboards. It's maybe a half-inch across, and three-eighths
thick.

Thus requiring a resistor?

 

Well TeGGeR, I have been an electronics technician for over 25 years now and
I know exactly the type of speaker you are talking about, remove the speaker
and you have an open circuit, the computer would function normally trust me.
