Deactivating/activating the belt minder feature

Read steps 1 - 9 thoroughly before proceeding with the

deactivation/activation programming procedure.

The Belt Minder feature can be deactivated/activated by performing the

following procedure:

Before following the procedure, make sure that:

² the parking brake is set

² the gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission).

² the ignition switch is in the OFF position

² all vehicle doors are closed

² the driver's safety belt is unbuckled

² the parklamps/headlamps are in OFF position (If vehicle is equipped

with Autolamps, this will not affect the procedure.)

To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the Belt

Minder feature while driving the vehicle.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO NOT

START THE ENGINE)

2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately 1

minute)

² Steps 3--5 must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure will

have to be repeated.

3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with the

safety belt unbuckled. This can be done before or during Belt Minder

warning activation.

4. Turn on the parklamps/headlamps, turn off the parklamps/headlamps.

5. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with the

safety belt unbuckled.

² After step 5 the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three

seconds.

6. Within seven seconds of the safety belt warning light turning off,

buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.

² This will disable Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or enable Belt

Minder if it is currently disabled.

7. Confirmation of disabling Belt Minder is provided by flashing the

safety belt warning light four times per second for three seconds.

8. Confirmation of enabling Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety

belt warning light four times per second for three seconds, followed by

three seconds with the safety belt warning light off, then followed by

flashing the safety belt warning light four times per second for three

seconds again.

9. After receiving confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is

complete.

Can you pay seat belt ticket online in Georgia?

Asked by Wiki User

Whether or not you can pay a seat belt ticket online depends on which court is hearing your case. Texas does not have a statewide ticket payment system, but many individual courts do. If a court has online payments, it most likely includes seat belt tickets. When you sign in to a court's online payment website and enter your ticket information, the system will tell you whether or not it's payable online.

Use the related link below to search for Texas courts' online payment websites. They're arranged alphabetically by county, so just scroll down to your county and look for your court. Most traffic ticket cases will be in Justice of the Peace Court or Municipal Court.

Can i bring my own seat belt extender on a commercial jet airplane?

Asked by Wiki User

Most airlines use the seatbelt extenders for the demonstration in the beginning when the flight attendent shows how to buckle. If, when boarding the plane, you ask the flight attendant greeting you for an extender, they will usually tell you that they will deliver the extender to you after the presentation. This is true for MOST airlines.

Also if you are a frequent traveler, you can purchase your own seatbelt extender. They are roughly 50 dollars and you can order them online.

How do you replace your seat belt on a 99 Ford Explorer?

'96 Explorer Seat Belt Replacement

http://www.seatcoverset.com/seatcovers-car_seat_cover.htm

In order to replace the driver side seat belt on a '96 Explorer, you must completely remove the drivers seat. Removing driver side seat belt: Use a 10mm socket/wrench to remove the two bolts securing the front of the seat to the floor. Move the seat as close to the steering wheel as possible to expose the rear of the sliding seat rails. Pop off the two covers at the end of each rail to expose two more 10mm bolts securing the seat to the floor. Next, remove the plastic cover with a Torx symbol on it at the rear of the seat belt guide rail. Removing the aforementioned cover will allow access to a large Torx bolt just below the rear of the center console. Remove this large Torx bolt, unplug any electrical wires below the seat, and remove the entire seat from the Explorer. With the seat out, you can use the same Torx wrench to unscrew the seat belt itself from the seat. Reassembly is the opposite of disassembly.

Asked by Wiki User

The penalty will vary according to the jurisdiction. In some states it is a small fine, others are much larger. Some places allow the authorities to pull someone over for not wearing a seatbelt, in others they can only ticket you if there is some other violation, such as speeding.

How do you disable the seat belt buzzer on a ford van?

Asked by Wiki User

Splice into the seat belt wires. + - wires.

Run the wires around to your dash board. connect a 100 ohm resister to a switch as if to be parallel with the seat belt circuit. when you flip the switch the car thinks your seat belt is fastened.

The only problem when you actually want to put on your seat belt then you get some error message on the dash. So, flip the switch off then fasten your seat belt. Then your set to go.

-Check to see if there is a plug on the bottom of the seat belt harness and try that... don't know if it will work but a good idea to start with...

always try asking a junk yard too. they tear them apart and should know what does what.

How do you unstick a seat belt on a 1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I did this yesterday on my 1997 Oldsmobile Silhouette. My seat belt was twisted on the seat belt mechanism on the passenger side of the vehicle so I did the following. Open front passenger door and sliding door. Peel back the seal around the door frame sufficient to expose the trim that covers the seat belt mechanism. Remove the trim piece that is on the passenger side floor. (This would be the piece that the door covers when the door is closed.) Using a slotted prybar (like a screwdriver with a forked tounge), I pried the body mount fasteners of the floor trim away from the body. I removed the floor trim on the passenger side and raised it just enough on the sliding door side to be able to free the seat belt trim covering. I then peeled back the trim that covers the seat belt mechanism. This requires a little maneuvering as there are body tabs that go under the trim piece at the top. Once the seat belt mechanism trim was released, I had access to the seat belt device. The seat belt is held in by one bolt that has a Star slot. I used a star slot driver and a 3/8" ratchet with a small extension to access that bolt. I needed a breaker bar with a good amount of force to free the bolt. Once freed, I was able to ratchet it out. Once the bolt was removed, the mechanism could be unhooked from the body of the van. Using a screwdriver I was able to hold back the release latch and pull the strap until I reached the point where the belt had been crossed. I straightened out the belt and returned the mechanism to the body of the van and then installed the star bolt. I reassembled the trim and restored the door seals to their former position.
