Does any one know if the warning light can be turned off in the XB :blah: ? 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,

YEAH not to sound like a jerk, but ummm put your seat belt on... it will save your life someday. if you are talking about the passenger seat... dont put anything on the seat else it will blink. other than that sorry cant help you.

Yeah, put the thing on. It'll save your life.

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

ok here u go
go go babies r us.. they sell seatbelt extensions.. buy one
plug it in drop it on the side of theseat then put a rubber band around it or suntin to its not floppin around... then u dont gotta worry bout it!!! I WEAR MY SEATBELT but thats what alot of friends do who use 5 pont harnesses.. n such!!!

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.

PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON!

actually MAX my buddy is a police officer and he has seen some crashes that the people would have survived if there was no seat belt at all. mostly in convertibles..... but still just wear it.. its better if you do,.

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? :blah:

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.

...but thats what alot of friends do who use 5 pont harnesses.. n such!!!

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!

could you not find the connection on the underside of the seat and disconect it?

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.

I dunno. . . get behind it and cut the wire?

I'd say a good way to make the light stop blinking is to drive without a belt. You'll die soon enough. Voila, no more light problems for you.

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

And not everybody who smokes gets cancer. What's your point?

THis thread is funny

My point is that you do not have to wear a seat belt. just like not every one that eats gets fat, what is YOUR point

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

It's proven that not all drunk drivers have killed innocent people but does that mean we should all get trashed and go out and drive home because a few cases proved they got home ok.

There is a very famous news pic that was too gruesome to use but Andy Warhol made a silk screen out of it.
Basicly, the dude got thrown from his convertable car and impaled himself on a telephone pole ladder rung.
Seatbelt mighta helped him out.

My two cents:
If you are absolutely dead set on disabling it, try unplugging the sensor cable under the seat. It worked for me in another car a few years ago accidentally (I was installing an audio system and forgot to reconnect it).

Just as information, I've known at least 3 friends of mine from high school that died because they were thrown from the car and hit a non-forgiving object. Two were because they weren't wearing seatbelts and one was because the automotive engineers lost there freaking minds and connected the seatbelts to the doors. Apparently they thought it was cool to have seatbelts that put themselves on for you. Well, if you hit something that opens the door and didn't have the lap belt on (which most people didn't), then the seatbelt was absolutely useless. That last person was my best friend for many years. Don't put yourself at risk to be a loss to your best friends. There's nothing cool about not being safe and once you get used to wearing one you forget it's there.

You HAVE to wear a seat belt in California....not that i complain...it will save your ___ one day (ive had two; thank god for seatbelts :bow:)

~tesh

+.. y dont you wear a seatbelt..? waht's your good excuse?

ignore the light............... :silly:

Not too long ago I drove past a car wreck, and on the passenger side there was a real nice impression of a person's head in the windshield. That's the picture I'm getting right now.

My point is that you do not have to wear a seat belt. just like not every one that eats gets fat, what is YOUR point I really hope that you are young, because that is terrible logic. Eating is in no way a proper analogy to this discussion (which is essentially about benefit vs. risk). You claim that it's OK to engage in an activity which is proven to be dangerous. Your claim is based solely on the fact that in a few instances, engaging in said activity has had the opposite effect of its intended purpose. Since eating is not a patently dangerous activity, it serves no purpose in this argument. However, if we follow your convoluted logic, we can state that it's OK to be morbidly obese since a few really fat people have had their lives saved due to their massive protective layer of fat.

You should really take a class on risk/benefit analysis or something.

+.. y dont you wear a seatbelt..? waht's your good excuse? The only excuse I can think of is being a moron.

"I don't wear a seatbelt because like 60 people out of the 40,000 that died last year in car wrecks died because they were wearing their seatbelt! I'm going to completely ignore the fact that over 300,000 people were saved from serious injury because they were wearing their seatbelts, because that's exactly how stupid I am!"

you can turn off the light by disconnecting the little plug in the bottom of the chair. There you're problems are gone and no more blinking light!

FINALLY a REAL ANSWER
Seat belt use should always be left up to the individual not a law telling you to. It's called personal freedom it is america after all. Sure we all know the in most instances seatbelts are a good thing the only problem I have is it should have never been made in law. What's next outlawing junk food! LOL

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

True if you drive your box off a bridge and into a body of water and you can't get out of your seatbelt due to panic but then once you get it off you might not be able to get the door open anyway.

Not wearing your seatbelt based on the small % of times it might cost you your life is like saying you smoke cause it calms your nerves nevermind that it is killing you.

Freedom only extends to Rights which driving is not a Right. Since the state licences you to drive they have the Right to tell you what you have to do to drive under the law.

Please don't confuse Privilage with Rights.

You Earn the Privilage to Drive.

If it was a Right then I would have the Right to Drink and Drive.

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.

the question was based on a either a: failure to follow the law and/or b: doing something stupid as in not wearing a seatbelt.

I for one enjoy the fact that most members here care enough about a fellow member to get out our soapboxes and preach to him in hopes of changing his foolish ways.

Isn't this what Free Speech is all about?

well there is most likely a circuit being completed when you plug your belt in find out whether the belt grounds the circuit or whether it ads a 12 volt currnet then permanently complete the circuit

aal I am saying is that it is your own choice if you want to were a seat belt or not. I am not sying that if you don't wear one you will live , just there is a chance. I know let me guess " there is a chance a rock could fall on you and kill you but does that mean that you should not go outside". get a life.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks!
And you for ONE care If he does not care than leave the man alone, and let him figurer out the hard way.
I "for one" have seen first hand in my family people hurt worse b/c they had a seat belt on and my 4 year old nephew saved b/c he did not have one on. :lalala:

i cut a little square piece of electrical tape and put it over the light and it blends in with the dash and you can;t see the light through the tape. But you still need to wear the belt for sure.

Was the 4 year old in a booster seat?

You need a seatbelt for that.

What are you saying about the 4 year old not wearing one?

he was in one, but not buckled in yet when the car was T-boned, and he went to the other side of the car. The doc. said if he would have been buckeled in than the inpact would have prob. killed him.

That 4-year-old's parents (or whoever was driving the car) should be in jail.

\And the "there's a chance a rock might fall on you" statement has nothing to do with this argument, either. See, now you are implying that a perfectly safe, legal activity might possibly be dangerous in freakish circumstances. Again, we are discussing your promoting an inherently dangerous activity, not an inherently safe one.

Here is another example, using the EXACT SAME LOGIC you employ: Firefighters have to wear fire-retardant clothing. Due to the extra bulkiness of this clothing, a few firefighters have gotten hung up on something inside a burning house or building and died. Here you come along, promoting the idea that firefighters should enter burning buildings with no protective gear, since the protective gear has been shown to kill. This scenario is exactly parallel to yours. Now, doesn't your logic seem pretty stupid?

But hey, you're right--it's your choice if you wear a seatbelt or not. But ALL of us have to pay if you go through the windshield and end up paralyzed from the neck down, so you really should be put in jail or severely fined for not wearing one.

And let me get this straight: You're not able to form a functional argument , you're not able to follow the lines of logic that you yourself set up, and yet you expect us to believe that you are somehow qualified to analyze a vehicular accident in such a manner as to claim with certainty that wearing a seatbelt was the contributing factor in an injury?

You know what, lunchbox? I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing. Don't take it personally, OK?

I never said I was "qualified" at any thing so shut up.
They driver was in the DRIVE WAY when the y got hit they were not even moving so shut up unless you know the whole story.
I was basing my statments on the other staments that were being made, if you could not pick up on the sarcasum than you are stupid.

whatever, than don't say anything

could you not find the connection on the underside of the seat and disconect it?

I already tried that.

The airbag light becomes lit.

It's very annoying to look at as well, and I have the same question. So if the anyone does in turn figure it out without tripping any other sensors, I would be curious to find out as well.

Heres why its odd.
Because when people are injured not wearing seatbelts, MY insurance and Your insurance goes up.
Also, what about emergency workers? You are endangering their lives also. And wasting their time.
They have to show up at these gruesome scenes and try and help mangled people.

:rofl: :rofl:

Yeah...thats why insurance goes up!

I got news for ya buddy, whether or not a person is wearing a seatbelt has little to do with insurance costs. Insurance will keep going up as long as the companies can convince people like you its because of the lack of belt usage. Im sure you think it has nothing to do with the average fender bender having an average repair cost of 2K does it?
And what about emergency workers? Any collision with any degree of magnitude seat belt or not is going to warrant the presence of emergency workers, and last time I checked it their JOB and they are paid WELL in part because of MY TAX DOLLARS, so spare me the "wasting their time" b*llsh*t.

Insurance cost go up with the claim $$ go up. If medical expenses go up due to higher rate of injuries due to lack of wearing a seatbelt then yes your failure to obey the law (if in state with seatbelt law) could cause my rates to go up. I'm sure the insurance industires track fines/convictions on failure to wear seatbelts and build this into the cost for insurance in certain areas.

but if the cost of your life vs a bit of comfort or coolness is the price you are willing to pay well ....to each his own.


question for all those non belt wearers. (assuming your state requires seatbelts) if happen to be pulled over for speeding or whatever and you don't have your seatbelt on and the cop questions you about it. Do you Stand Proudly and Tell Him it is YOUR RIGHT NOT TO WEAR ONE or do you Lie and tell him you just took it off to get your wallet?

If you answer the first..then I applaud you and your convictions, if the latter. Then put the belt on and shut up your a lair on the Rights issue.

Of course insurance rates have to do with the average fender bender. And when you don't wear your seatbelt and get injured much worse during that fender bender. Insurance goes up as a result. And as far as your TAX dollars are concerned, I am refering to volunteers also.

:clap:
what state are you in? does youre state have a mandatory seat belt law? If so, wear it, cause it the law, if not , then I would assume youre a big boy and you can make a decision on youre own, correct, its youre chioce to wear it or not, and thats, that. just dont cry and complain when you get a ticket for not wearing it, or get hurt. driving is a privilage, not a right .

Bottom line... if half the time wasted on writing and enforcing seatbelt laws were spent on additional drivers education it would have twice the impact on safety and reducing insurance premiums. Better trained drivers=less wrecks. Seatbelt laws are nothing but a bandaid for an outdated system. Also they are an additional means for revenue raising from the poor saps that don't follow the "LAW"
As far as the emergency workers.... Wasting their time???? LOL that is what they do for a living. Endangering their lives???? Thats the risk they assume when the take the job :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Give me a break, I'm a VOLUNTEER Fire fighter (zero pay) we risk our lives for the thrill of it!!! You really get to see what happens when people do some STUPID stuff and most of the time it wouldn't matter if they had a seatbelt on or not! FACT :clap:

"Gruesome scenes are part of the enetertainment." ????

Wow, I think you summed up youself with that statement.

No further comments or assement necessary.

Who said this guy didnt want to wear his seat belt? Maybe like me he just doesnt want the blinking light telling him to? I have a problem with authority and i really dont want an inanimate object tell me what to do.

Seatbelt laws have nothing to do with common sense. Seatbelts weren't mandatory until either the late 50's or early/mid 60's. You can be the most common sense driver in the world and someone else runs into and you die due to failure to use your seatbelt. The other driver could be driving with common sense and mechanical failure of the car causes the crash.

Whether one uses Common sense has nothing to do with Seatbelt laws. Fact and Stat are the reasons behind the laws

black electric tape or sharpee. Would you consider putting on your seat belt COMMON SENSE? just wondering.

The pro seat belt liberals just don't get it and I'm tired of talking to a brick wall. One last time, if people used good common sense and were more concerned with driving rather than talking on the phone or doing other things that they shouldn't be doing while driving there would be no need for seatbelts or seatbelt laws in the first place. I think I'd take my chances on the off chance that an accident were to happen due to something mechanical. Why is that so hard to comprehend? Seatbelts weren't standard equiptment till the mid 60's. And mandatory use has only been in the last few years. Eventually all vehicles will be so full of safety devices no one will be able to afford them. I love the ____ out of it when they call a crash an accident. It's only and accident when something happens through no fault of either driver. Like if a plane fell out of the sky or something stupid like that. Do you get it yet!!! Prolly not and you never will but, OH WELL????? I think the young ones take what they hear in the media as gospel and haven't been able to think for themselves. The blind leading the blind. LOFL

Seat belts are so uncomfortable! Gah! I can't bear to have that piece of fabric laying on my sensitive body! And don't get me started on that annoying click sound it makes when you put it the latch, it makes my hair stand on end!

Everyone should just be like robots and lose their propensity to make mistakes. Drive perfectly (as I obviously do) so I don't have to wear a seat belt!

You know whats really interesting is here in FL wearing a seat belt while operating a motor vehicle is law, yet when it comes to motorcycles wearing a helmet is OPTIONAL? What the hell is that?? Kinda makes you think doesnt it?

^ i thought you had to wear a helmet at all times. in SC if your under 21 you need to wear a helmet. no laws like that in CT either. :-/

I was wondering how long before the helmet thing would come up. It falls under the same ideas. "Let those who ride decide". NUF SAID

sense the airbag light comes on, does that mean that the airbag wont deploy in a wreck? cause that would make sense of the airbag light coming on....

IMO the airbags shold still deploy. The blinking light is there to notify the driver that there is a problem with the system.

Still No real answer on this thing?!?! I really dont want to rig up a piece of tape over the light. I would rather have it not come on at all and NO its not because I dont wear a seat belt its for those times at night when you pull off the road and you want to make out with your girl but theres a distracting light flashing at you warning you of your seatbelt not being on!!

hmmm....look under the seat if it is a two wire plug then lets see unplug it and jump the two wires together should do the trick....or you could wear the seatbelt....

Or just pull the bulbs on the warning lights. It should not be that hard. I still think the tape would be the best all around answer

hmmm....look under the seat if it is a two wire plug then lets see unplug it and jump the two wires together should do the trick....or you could wear the seatbelt....

He said he does! READ!, he wants it to be off when he is parked. :loser:

It's just me, but I'd prefer NOT to be right up against the airbag when it deploys at what I believe is close to 200mph... If the seatbelt's not on I think the airbags should be disabled. Isn't one of the functions of the seatbelt to keep you from flying into the airbag? Not trying to spark another argument, just staying my .02

the airbag doesnt blow that fast anymore. Gov regulations.

but that is a good question. is the airbag disabled with no seatbelt on. im guessin out my ___, yeah it still will deploy. Toyota doesnt want a case.

The airbag still deploys whether or not someone is sitting there. thats why the say to put childseats in the rear. The only time the airbag won't deploy is on some vehicles have an override switch that can be turned off.

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.

I agree 1000% it ____es me off too.

These are the same people who will tell you airbags are unsafe. Never mind that the injuries people sustain from airbags are a lot better than the certain death or dismemberment they would have experienced with out one. Small minds...

Believe it or not, airbags do cause injuries... You won't hear about it though in the liberal media! They are good for higher impacts but in a fender bender they should not be going off. Seatbelts save lives but, they have also been known to cause injury and trap people in their cars after a crash. It should always be left up to each person whether or not they WANT to wear one. Make choices for yourself and then later be held accountable for those choices.

By all means, disconnect your airbags and let Darwinism take its course.

Still No real answer on this thing?!?! I really dont want to rig up a piece of tape over the light. I would rather have it not come on at all and NO its not because I dont wear a seat belt its for those times at night when you pull off the road and you want to make out with your girl but theres a distracting light flashing at you warning you of your seatbelt not being on!!

There you go. Try a piece of electrical tape.

READ! in the quote he says he does not want to put tape on it. yet you say "put a piece of tape" what a dumb a$$.

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.

I agree 1000% it ____es me off too.

These are the same people who will tell you airbags are unsafe. Never mind that the injuries people sustain from airbags are a lot better than the certain death or dismemberment they would have experienced with out one. Small minds... :rofl:

Believe it or not, airbags do cause injuries... You won't hear about it though in the liberal media! They are good for higher impacts but in a fender bender they should not be going off. Seatbelts save lives but, they have also been known to cause injury and trap people in their cars after a crash. It should always be left up to each person whether or not they WANT to wear one. Make choices for yourself and then later be held accountable for those choices. BTW small mids are the ones that take what the media and law enforcement says as gospel :doh: Sorry I like to make safety choices for myself, that way I can't blame anyone but myself if I get injured as a result. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!! :clap:

Where to begin? Here are several points in no particular order. I used to be a firefighter and saw too many crashes; high speed incidents with seatbelts we had something to try to save; without, we would cover with a blanket and wait for the coroner. Low speed incidents with seat belts the occupants are filling out forms; without, we would back-board them into an ambulance. Fire apparatus and ambulances responding to an incident are inherently dangerous, better for them to stay at the station. Also, if a crew is tied up doing an immobilized extrication for an hour and a half then it isn’t available to respond to other emergencies. Liberal? No, I’m very conservative; let me tell you about working for the Reagan campaign in ’76. Personal choice? No, neither are bald tires. Seatbelts are safety equipment for the protection of others! A driver’s primary job is to stay behind the wheel and control the vehicle; you can’t do that flopping around the interior or laying on the floor. The saddest accident I responded to was a low speed collision where the driver was bounced to the opposite side of his car which then careened into a jogger on a sidewalk 75 feet away. If the jerk had been belted behind the wheel he could have steered or braked and not sent the high school’s top girl track and field athlete to hospital for two months of traction and forfeiting a full college scholarship. The physics of motion and inertia are such that at even low speeds you can’t “hold” yourself behind the wheel; you need a belt to keep you in a position to react for the safety of others. When the town a-hole was bussed away from a single car versus tree we might have rejoiced but as his mother, a decent woman, suffered horribly there was no up-side.

Bottom line; don’t be selfish, wear a seatbelt. If you can’t handle the responsibility, walk.

Oh yes, when fogging up the windows, be certain to engage the parking brake and use her panties to cover the annoying blinking light.

hate to do this but
