Thanks for the post. Nice when i. In the field training my dog and need in and out frequently. Now I don't have to have the belt buckled behind me.

I have a 2006 RAM 1500.

This won't work for me since the connection between the buckle and the harness going to the board has been severed so no signal can be passed from buckle to board.

I prefer not removing the gauge cluster to remove the speaker since gauge clusters are sensitive, on every other car I've done that on, something else on the cluster had broken.

Is there a fuse I can remove or any other option to disable that annoying chime...?

No they don't fuse the seatbelt chime. There are very minimal fuses in the 06-up trucks anyway. But yeah if they fused stuff as little as a seatbelt chime there would be about a million fuses under the hood.

The only other option is if you have a friend at the dealership they might be able to deactivate it. But you would have to be a very good friend because really no one is going to deactivate a safety device for you. I don't even know if this is an option anyway, the only way to do it may be with the process described in this thread.

The Bully Dog tuner might do it on an 06 not sure.

Ok so here's the simple solution to this:
Unplug the seatbelt and board harness blocks from each other.
(obviously) Forget the seatbelt block at this point but note that there are only two pins within the seatbelt block, the rest of the slots are open.
Use a paper clip to complete the circuit on the board end by jamming each end of the paper clip into each opening of the board block that corresponds to where the two pins from the seatbelt block fit into.
It's far simpler in reality that the written explanation.
Basically when the seatbelt is inserted into the receptacle it completes a circuit. The completed circuit is recognized by the board to not show the warning light and sound.
Here we're bypassing the seatbelt receptacle, harness, and block altogether and completing the circuit at the block that goes to the board.

As a Construction Super who gets in and out of the truck 100 times per day and travels from point to point within the project, this is more than a must have. It's a sanity keeper. Glad I found the solution here and this site. Thanks.

Wow thanks for bumping this up. I wear my seatbelt but this will be nice when driving off road when I'm in and out of the truck.

Is there an update to this for the 2023 models? I have a limited elite 2023 ram 1500. The old trick doesn't work. Thanks in advance.

Considering this is the 3rd gen section (02-08) you might wanna try asking in the 5th gen section lol.
