will this procedure work on all ford 2004 models? I have a Taurus also and would like to shut off the chime on it also.

I suppose it would. It describes the procedure in the owners manual...check there.

 

The feature is called Beltminder, in case you have trouble finding it in the manual.

 

Well i drove my vehicle all day and no seatbelt minder. What a relief.

 

The taurus works exactly the same. Thanks all

Seems to have worked for me. Thanks for posting it and saving me looking through the manual.

 

2004 F-150 Seat Belt Minder
<HR style="COLOR: #666666" SIZE=1>Hi Everyone ,
Just thought all should if you want ! Do at your own risk ! We all need seat belts, but not that annoying sound !

How to Disable.....


1. Turn the ignition switch ON, but do not start the engine.
2. Wait for the safety belt light to go OFF (takes about 1-2 minutes)
3. The following steps must be completed within 60 SECONDS.
Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
Turn on the headlights, and then turn off the headlights.
Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled.
The Safety Belt light should turn on for 3 seconds.

Within SEVEN seconds of the light turning OFF, quickly buckle and unbuckle the belt.

This will disable the belt minder if it is currently enabled.

NOTE: Confirmation of the disabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the belt light 4 times per second for 3 seconds.

Now you have disabled that annoying sound!

 

I think I smell B.S. here.
