Per instructions starting on page 187 of my 05 owners manual:

Shut doors
Set E-Brake
Turn on key
Wait for seatbelt symbol to go off
When it goes off buckle and unbuckle seatbelt 3X ending with it unbuckled
Turn headlights on and of
buckle and unbuckle seatbelt 3X ending with it unbuckled
Seat belt lite is supposed to come on now and after it goes off i am supposed to buckle and unbuckle once more within 7 seconds but the damn light never comes on after the last sequence of 3!!! I have tried a dozen times!!!

I did this in one shot on my 03 Superduty and many others but i cannot get this one to work!!!


I even tried the sequence out of an 07 book to no avail.

For the 07 It says :
Shut doors
Set E-Brake
Turn on key
Wait for seatbelt symbol to go off
When it goes off buckle and unbuckle seatbelt 9X ending with it unbuckled
Light should come on and buckle it once more.


So what is the problem here???

 

No one knows?? It's a real PITA when i am on a jobsite and the damn dinger keeps going off. ............

 

my dad keeps hounding me to disable his but he doesn't get it that I tried what the manual says and it didn't work

 

Why does Ford even put it in the manual if it wont work??? Is his an 05 like mine??

 

06 we tried it before he even drove it off the lot then the salesman tried it then he asked the service manager and all of a sudden everyone got busy and would have to get back to us lol

 

Whada bunch of crap eh??? And no one else has an answer??? That is simply amazing!!! Think i'll find the wire going to the buckle and jumper the damn thing!!!!

 

Yeh I have absolutely no faith in our local dealership on anything but taking money

 

Just reach under the seat & unplug it.

 

Why would you want to disable it?

 

I work construction. I am in and out of the Ex on jobsites 40-50 times a day. If i hit pavement i use the belt but i sure as hell am not going to buckle the damn thing overtop of my heavy coveralls 40-50 times a day. I have just started buckling it behind me but that is annoying too. Will unplugging it work or does it have to be jumpered????

 

Its a pia but keep trying. It took me about 6-7 tries until I finally got it. Make sure to do exactly what it says in the correct order and try not to be to slow.

 

Unplugging worked on older fords, should work on your's too.If it doesn't, it didn't cost anything or hurt anything.

 

Just unplugged it today. Got the airbag light now................

 

Yep, I've disabled a couple and it usually takes a minimum of two tries for me. I think it's very sensitive to the timing of the process -- you slip up for a few seconds and it won't happen.

 

Can you just run the belt behind the seat and buckle it?
