Seat belt warning beeper
I'm not sure it can be completely disconnected, but if you check your owners manual there's a rather complicated procedure in there to turn off the "Belt Minder" feature that causes the beeper to go off ever few minutes. It involves hooking and unhooking the seat belt a few times and turning the ignition on and off I believe. Just follow the steps and you should be beeper free.
Good luck,

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-Nov-02 AT 09:47 PM (EST)]If you are talking about the "BeltMinder" feature, where the chime sounds for 6 seconds every 30 seconds for the first 5 minutes (geez that sounds confusing), See page 103 of the Owner's Guide on how to disable it. I did and have not missed it a bit! I also disabled the annoying AutoLock feature (see page 88). Good luck, the directions are a bit tricky and involve a live chicken. :-)

I missed page 102 in the owner's manual. Thanks vogtjim for bringing this up.
I wonder if the seat belt wiring ties into the airbags somehow? I was running with it unplugged is why I ask.

I had also done the "unplug under the seat" - I think that messes up the airbag stuff - so instead, I plugged it back in, and used the procedure in the manual.
btw, it's page 107 and 108 (at least for the 2002 manual)..

Now wait a minute... I have a 2002 manual and it is page 103. Either you have extra pages or I got shorted. Are there different versions of the manual?

The manual that came with my truck says on the front:
Owner's Guide
F-250/350/450/550
Super Duty F-Series
2002 Model Year
Page 103 has a picture of how to adjust the belt height. The procedure to disable the chimd begins on page 107.
My whole manual has 304 pages...
Maybe it's different??

Page 99 has the belt height adjustment pic in my book.

Mine has 304 pages but 301 - 304 are all blank.
Page 3 says copyright 2001 at the bottom.
Strange.
