Seatbelt buckle alarm stoppers. Do they work?

^^this

Little tricky with push button start but worked on my 2017

Just curious but did your manual say what the procedure was?

Yeah don’t mean to be hung up on that but please understand this is the first time I’ve ever not seen instructions on how to disable that seatbelt chime.

That procedure works very well . I did it on my 16, and haven't heard it since.

That’s on a 2016 though. I have an ‘18....

I've done it occasionally when not on public roads, but other then that I always use my seat belts. Buckling the belt behind your back is better then buying one of those alarm stoppers. What a great combination, unbuckled and beer bottle opener....LOL

Yeah, I never understood the concept of the bottle opener.

I guess I can just claim my responsibility and only use the alarm stopper for its alarm stopping qualities...[emoji41]

Right, I understand that. That's why I mentioned the year. I was more commenting for anyone else that might be browsing the subject. I would be willing to bet that the dealership doesn't do anything but this procedure. The "computer" excuse is just a way to justify their getting into your wallet. Hopefully this will still work for year model. I'm looking forward to hearing if it does.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised either. Hell for all I know it might be some new way of increasing their safety ratings on the truck by deterring the interest of turning the chime off by making people think they can no longer turn it off on their own and have to pay the dealership to do it, except for the smart ones who know how to use Google and YouTube...lol.

I’m hoping it does too but if it doesn’t, at least I sounds like the switch that turns the **** off is in the buckle, not the spool which would allow the use of that chime-stopper doohickey.

Somebody on YouTube tho said that it did in fact work on a 2018 1500 so, we’ll see this evening.

If you follow all the directions it will. Only thing I left out on the explanation was the door had to be closed.

 

[wgreggking]

worked on my 17

Well holy crap, spank my ass and call me Charley, you guys are going to be very pleased to hear that those steps worked.

Light stays on just as I suspected but no more annoying chime!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Well it’s not that. On that aspect I had no doubt that it would work, it’s just that I wasn’t sure that it would be able to work because there’s no mention of those steps in my manual.

I’m just glad that it did and it actually kind of aggregates me that they are trying to pull the wool over people’s eyes by not saying how to do it and telling people to bring it to the dealer.
