I disabled mine with the procedure in the manual :shrug: Keep in mind that you have a time limit on part of it. It took me 3 tries before I got it. Otherwise, you could always unplug it under your seat, but I've heard that may change the way your airbag deploys.

Thanks for the reply Fixxer, but I tried using the manual 6 or 7 times and my son (who works in an auto body shop) also tried several times to no avail.
I know about the unplug under the seat too but I don't want anything to risk the airbag (I may not buckle up all the time but I ain't crazy!). I just want to disable the chime so that if my wife drives the Excursion, she won't be fighting with the seat belt!
Maybe someone else will have an idea...I even thought about pulling the fuse to the chime (don't know if that would work or what else would be affected).

Hi Joyee,
Thanks for the info...I'll give this a try. BTW since my last post about this I got ANOTHER Excursion! Now we have twice as much need to disable this damn bell! LOL!

This worked great! Thanks so much - I now have the seat belt chime disabled on both my Excursions! Your method worked flawlessly!
