Default XB seat belt warning light

Does any one know if the warning light can be turned off in the XB ? Is there a way to trick the car into thinking the seat belt is in use when it isnt. The blinking light is driving me nuts.....

Thanks,

it has also been proven to kill you in some crashes, so it is a toss up.

Toss up nothing.

People who say this ____ me off to no end. It has been my experience that anyone who says this is just being lazy, and not actually thinking. I do not pity anyone who does not wear a seatbelt and gets injured as a result.

You are right, and the people who say that they have caused deaths are correct. BUT those instances are few, and the cases that belts save lives are in the majority.

I meant that the people who say they cause deaths are using that very minor percentage to justify their actions, when they are really just lazy.

it is a proven FACT. People have been killed because they were trapped in the car.

And it is a proven FACT that poo smells. . . doesn't mean squat. It's what you do with that data that counts. Odds are, that if you wear a seatbelt, it will save your life. The odds of it killing you are slim.

Statistics never lie, and in fact it has made a city filthy rich. . . Las Vegas.
The odds that you will lose are very high. The odds that you will win are very low. But people often play to win, and not to have fun. Stupid, stupid people. Just look at Craps, the most common number combinations have the lowest pay outs, and the least common combinations have the highest pay outs. Statistically, you lose. After all, you don't see their guests going off and building huge hotels after playing blackjack!

I dont see a cross on the thread so why is everyone preaching?

The person who started this thread obviously doesnt want to wear his belt for whatever reason, that has been established, yet many of you seem to find it necessary to state the obvious in a condescending manor. Is that really the type of forum we want here, I dont think so. So it is real simple, either contribute someting constructive to the thread or just shut up, because no one here is perfect.

Now, to answer the question at hand, I would say to get a hold of some black vinyl graphic and try to apply it over the blinking light. I am not sure if it will adhere but its worth a shot.

Thats almost as bad! 5pt harness, yes can potentually hold you better than a 3 pt (hints why racers use them) but i wouldnt be cought dead in a 5pt w/o a roll cage..... the second the car flips in a nasty crash, and the roof crashes down.... so will you!! The good point about a 3pt is if the roof does collapse down, you can dip to the side, increasing the chances of surviving.... (used to work at an automotive safety shop. Sold all those tuner 4pt and 5pt...along w/ the 3" 5pt, 6pt 7pt and 8pt harnesses)


Plus i think if the light isnt blinking, the airbag will not deploy (could be wrong).... so if you dont have your belt on... through the window you go!

And yes, I do know how you could disable that light. No, I'm not going to tell you.

The easiest way to make it stop blinking is to plug your seatbelt in ;)

I do belive the man asked how to deconect it, not what he should be doing, so if you don't have any ideas on how to diconect we don't need a serman from a bunch of preachers.
