Seat Belt Indicator Light

Hey all,

Is there a easy way to disable the flashing seat belt indicator light on the
instrument cluster?

Cheers,

Yes, put the seat belt on.

Do you realize just how brain dead stupid you sound there? ;-P
It's "The Flat Earth Society" all over again, the same mentality that
fought automotive seatbelts tooth and nail when they were introduced
in cars in the 1950's.

Seriously, I'll take the slightly uncomfortable annoyance of a
seatbelt locking up on me a few times while off-roading over the
extreme annoyance of a few months in a hospital, or the real drag of
being dead for a few forevers ANY DAMN DAY.

Some smart people go to the extra expense to add a full 5-point
racing harness system for when they go off-road, because even the
factory belts are not designed to handle the kinds of wild gyrations
you can encounter tumbling down a hill - but factory three-point belts
are still a hell of a lot better than nothing.

You have to wear seat belts all the time, because by the time you
realize you are about to have a collision or roll over it's far too
late to try and put the belt back on. And once the festivities have
started the inertia reel will lock and not let you pull it out anyway.

And another good reason - "Click It Or Ticket" laws. You have to
get used to wearing your seat belts on the street, and taking it off
when you hit the dirt is a bad habit to get into.

Aside:

You want real fun? Back in the 80's I had a co-worker with a
slightly raised CJ-5, full Smittybilt cage, racing seats, and both
5-points and the factory belts.

So one morning he decided to wear the 5-points while driving to
work. And at 65 MPH the freeway suddenly slammed to a stop - he got
it sideways, started rolling at about 45, and witnesses counted at
least 8 barrel rolls and a few spins in the air (Looked like a NASCAR
wreck) and it all ended with a rather beat-to-shit CJ sitting upside
down on top of the concrete K-rail center divider. Bikini top ripped
up, corners nicely rounded off, wheels bent...

But my friend? Not. A. Scratch. Popped the belts, got some help
out of the inverted car, and he walked away. Helped with the
clean-up, and back at work the next day.

Of course, the CHP was thrilled - two other cars with some fairly
serious damage, and carpentry tools and several 50-lb cases of loose
nails scattered /everywhere/. "Call CALTRANS, and tell them to bring
the sweepers and the big magnets."

What are you my Mother, I already have one thanks, I simply want to know if
there's a way to disable the fuckin thing or not. There's no need to waste
my time with your opinions. I'm quite well aware of the factors involved.

Hey genius, go to the junkyard and find a seatbelt tip that fits in the
slot.

Do you need further instructions?

Yes yes i do.

I was thinking more along the lines of a permanent disconnection. should i
cut the wires or join them together.

It's your life. Suit yourself. And count your blessings - at least
you still _have_ a mother. (And quitcherbitchin, you brought it up.)

Do you know what's the most gut-wrenching thing a Mother or Father
ever has to do in their entire life? Burying one of their children.
You might as well rip their heart out and stomp on it a few times.

But before you go around deliberately not wearing your seat belt,
please do us all a favor - carry a signed organ donor card with your
drivers license, and make sure all your relatives know your wishes in
case they are put in the position of making that decision for you.

People sign the card, and then the next of kin sits there and
vacillates at the ER until there's nothing good to reuse - for some
things like internal organs you have only minutes.

See, it's a known fact: They pass seatbelt laws for cars and helmet
laws for motorcyclists, accident rates go down a bit, accident
fatalities go down a lot, and the supply of donor organs dries up.

Am I getting through, Bunky? Are we getting past the Macho Man
veneer to the intellect buried deep inside? <tap> <tap> Is this
thing on?

Thanks for you input but think of it this way if i roll my truck and die
there's one less Engineer to make your life a living hell and one less truck
on the road to contribute to world pollution.

I've been in roll overs before the ones i walked away from were the ones
where no seat belt was worn, sure it's a bad practice but for me it's a way
to walk away at the end of the day.

Give him the Info, its one more out of the Gene pool when he finally
realises that he shouldve worn a belt. By then its too late eh.
