Hi,

Am trying to re-activate the seat belt alarm (kids) in my new to me 1999 XLT sport. The original owner must have disabled it, as the wiring and chime are still intact. Did not get an owners manual with the truck.

Downloaded one, in pieces, but haven't found the info yet.
Trying to find an original for purchase.

In the meantime, anyone have the procedure steps?

 

Found it. If anyone else needs it:

You can Deactivate the Belt Minder two ways. First, you can deactivate it temporarily for your current "run cycle", that is after you have started your car and it's still running. Second, you completely deactivate the Belt Minder so that it never reminds you again, or at least until your reactivate it...

The first method, temporary deactivation, or one time disable: After you have started your vehicle, buckle and then un-buckle your safety belt. Be sure to buckle back up.... This will disable the Belt Minder only for that ignition cycle.

The second method, permanent deactivation: There are 9 steps you need to follow to deactivate or activate your Belt Minder system. Before doing so, make sure that:

• [*]

Then follow these 9 steps:

1. [*]

Steps 3-5 MUST be completed within 60 seconds!

1. [*]

After step 5, the Safety Belt Warning Light will be turned on for 3 seconds.

1. Within 7 seconds of the safety belt warning light turning OFF, buckle then un-buckle the safety belt.

This will disable the Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or enable the Belt Minder if it is currently disabled.

1. [*]

 

They sure make you jump through hoops. For kids the chime reminder is a must. Mine is disabled because at times I just don't want to ware it.
