Seatbelt EVIC message

[Brody57]

I just bought a new 2014 Ram RCSB a few months ago and I disabled the seat belt chime. My question for everyone is, is there a way to also disable the seatbelt message that comes up on the EVIC when they aren't buckled? I have a bench seat so I flip my console up because my girlfriend likes to sit beside me but when I hit a bump the message flashes on my EVIC every time and its getting annoying. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is pretty solid advice. If that doesn't work though, you can jumper the connector that goes to the pass side seatbelt buckle. There is a 2 pin connector that leads to the switch in the buckle. It will think the buckle is always fastened.

She could be pressing on the seat so it thinks there is someone there.

Go to the salvage yard and cut just the buckle off of a seat belt and click it in the passenger side . . . EVIC message gone

Do the seats have sensors that detect a person sitting? If so maybe that could be disabled by jumpering? If that is possible it should stop the display warnings.

Proceed at your own risk. I have not tried this but am hoping someone with electrical/electronics knowledge will advise.
Found a fix for this. Disconnect wiring harness under seat and ground the male terminal. Said it would stop the chiming and the warning lights on the display.

Try buckling the passenger seat belt while she's in the middle seat and see if that changes things. If not just get used to the flashing light and be glad there's no chime. Better yet have her sit in the passenger seat instead.
