Just worked fine on my 17 Power Wagon, haven't driven around to see if the "Driver Side Unbuckled" warning flashes up on the DIC.

Huh. I didn't think driving buckled up was that big of an issue for people.

Maybe it's just a cultural thing.

For me , I do a lot of driving on farms mainly during hunting seasons. With a lot of short trips , stopping for a few mins and on the go again ....also during lunch I go to the parking lot and sit in my truck , I start it sometimes for the A/C. Not having to click the seatbelt is nice in these situations..

I never drive on roads with out a seatbelt .

Did this to my '17. It's really nice not having the dinging while just driving on our property. The light can get annoying, but I can live with that

A repeat:

1. Sit in truck and close all the doors: do NOT start truck.
2. Buckle seatbelt.
3. Put truck in the RUN position: do NOT start truck. Turn keyfob to RUN or (keyless) do NOT press brake pedal; press start button twice.
4. Wait for seatbelt lamp to go out on DID or EVIC.
5. You now have 60 seconds to complete the next steps.
6. Within 10 seconds, unbuckle, then rebuckle, the seatbelt 3 times, ending with the seatbelt buckled. Watch the DID/EVIC and ensure the seatbelt lamp turns on/off each time you buckle/rebuckle the seatbelt.
7. Put the truck in the OFF position. Turn keyfob to OFF or (keyless) press the start button once. A single chime should sound indicating programming complete.

Notes:- The seatbelt chime will still sound 5 times when starting the truck. The seatbelt lamp will always be on. You will occasionally get messages saying seatbelt unbuckled on DID or EVIC.
Do these same steps repeated reset the programming to the factory setting?

A real simple solution that I used is to get just the male end from a belt and stick it in the buckle...no chime and no light. You can acquire said male end from a u-pull-it yard or go to a dealer and buy a seat belt extender.

To the OP- this worked on my 2017 Big Horn CC!!! Before the fix I could not go over 5 mph without the chiming. Was about to drive me to the point of looking for the thing and shoving a screwdriver into it.

I LOVE YOU MAN!!!

Worked like a charm on my 16, this is truly a sanity savor for slow speed off-road when you are constantly hanging out the window

I have tried 6 times on my 18. Must not be holding my mouth right. Will try again tomorrow.

I can't remember which it is, but you either have to start with the belt buckled or not. I know the first couple of times I tried it I was doing it the opposite way and it didn't work. You'll know it worked when you hear the ding sound at the end.

I haven't seen this any where on the forum, but found out how to disable the seatbelt chime while driving. The seat belt light on the EVIC is still on though. If any one is interested this is what to do......

1. sitting in the truck buckle the seat belt.
2. turn on ignition without starting the truck.
3. wait for the seatbelt light to go off on the EVIC
4. with in 10 seconds, unbuckle, rebuckle 3 times. leaving the seat belt buckled the third time.
5. Turn off ignition. you should hear a chime confiring the change.

Take a quick drive to see if it worked.


You made my day man, i mean my week!
What a nice way to start a rainy monday morning!
Sometimes simple things gives you a big smile!

True story..

My wife's cousin never wore one. His teen age sons' foiiowed his lead. One ate a tree one morning driving to work. Almost killed him and ruined a stellar athletic career. Seat belt would have saved him from most of that.
Dad feels differently now about seat belts.

I agree, but I can think of a few scenarios where I don't wear a seatbelt, main one being when we're driving out on frozen lakes up here. There are times when we drive 10+ miles out onto Lake of the Woods to go ice fishing. It can get pretty annoying listening to the chime for half an hour or more.
