On the early Excursions: you could just push the orange button on the driver's seat belt latch and it would turn off the fasten seat belt chime. I remember when my buddy sold that Excursion and bought a brand new 2005 F250 and he was pretty saddened that the same orange button trick wouldn't work :eek:
I will have to try this trick. I know if you have driven with no seatbelt, stop and get out with the truck running, the seat belt chime doesn’t sound until the next restart.

I hate those door buzzers! If a door is open or the key is in the ignition i can figure that out on own. Nothing worse that that blasted buzzer going off while I'm working on the truck. That buzzer is the first thing to go on all my cars.

If theyre easy to get to I pull that damn buzzer on every vehicle I buy.


I dont know if other fords are the same, but in my 05 Crown Vic if you latch/unlatch the seat belt 3 times the dinger will quit until the next start.

I ended up leaving it unplugged again after I had to dismount it from the bracket when I replaced the wiper motor. LOL

Exactly what I thought it WAS... Until I paid attention.

Don't unplug the sensor, find the noise-maker and unplug it. The computer can send its distress signals 'til the cows come home, but you don't have to hear it.

On our old beasts it's a relay, but relay or computer, the sensor isn't what makes the noise. There is a dinger or speaker or something under there somewhere. Unplug that, and it gets quiet.

The white module is what makes the noise.
