Question Anyone disable the seatbelt dinger on 05?

I haven't been able to get the sequence right to disable the dinger per the users manual. So I took my truck to the dealer for an oil change and they said it was no longer possible on 05's.

sure it is, there should be a two wire plug under the seat, a properly placed jumper will keep that dinger from drivin ya batty...... done at your own risk of course.

I have an '05 and after 2,753 tries, I was successful. I sat in truck.....put seat belt on.......started truck.......waited for seatbelt light to go out.....and did the unhook-hook seatbelt exactly 3 times leaving it locked when finished....then turned off truck and it dinged at me. Now the dinger is off.....but the light stays on. I use my seatbelt, but I plow snow and sometimes I am in and out of truck and that dinger would have driven me nuts.

Easy on my '06. I spend lots of time tooling around on-plant and getting in and out. The dinger was a real PITA.

cut wires by floor mount & spliced them together.

always wear belt on base, but the belt tightens up so much on road trips, i like to take off & reposition. dinger was just too much.

If you plug in the centre belt to the drivers latch you loose the man and the ding.

That is exactly how many times it took me to get it right too!

Thanks guys. It worked exactly like you all described. I think the problem I had is the manual said to plug/unplug at LEAST 3 times in the specified time limit. I was stopping at 4. The magic number is 3..

Another confirmed load of crap from the dealer too.

I tried this on mine and the center belt would not fit in the drivers buckle.

I tried that on my '03 and it didn't work.

Worked for me first time I tryed it, but the seat belt indicator light does remain on. No big deal just wanted to confirm it works. Thanks

It worked on my 05. It took a couple of tries but I followed the directions in the owners manual. If you bypass the switch or splice the wires you will disable the multistage airbag system.

It worked great for my wife and I,her 05 Durango and my 05 3500,I would have not disabled it,if it would have given me alittle more time before it started dinging.Getting in and out for a few seconds while backing and everytime I had to put my belt on or the thing would drive me nuts.
