Well on my Corolla model that predates yours by 24 years there is a little black box directly under the instrument panel (you have to lie on your back with your head where your feet normally go in order to see it, and it's tucked up in there with a mess of wires). I think Haynes has a picture of the box in the manual but not where it is located exactly. Anyway, I unplugged the wires to this and it stopped the seatbelt buzzer, but it also stops the key-in-lock warning as well as the appropriate idiot light warnings. There was a posting about this a few months back.

 

Wear your seatbelt.

 

 

pfftt wire cutters? a .45 cal works much better.. just shoot in the direction you hear the noise.

 

I always wear my seatbelt. It's been a law here for decades.

But I just find annoying that this buzzer goes off whenever your speed creeps up above 9 km/hre. So whenever I leave before buckling up, or unbuckle before coming to a full stop... BBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZTTT........ for 30 seconds. Stupid.

A trick I got from another forum would be to tie together the 2 wires going in each front seatbelt to make the car "think" that both are buckled full time. That would then preclude the dashboard seatbelt light to flash.

 

Its a pain in the @SS, having to hear that thing go off as soon as you get over 20km. but I'll tell you from experience, i used to never wear my seatbelt until my buddy got into an accident and i nailed my head on the pillar of the windsheild. Trust me, you'd rather hear that buzzing noise come from the car than your head.

 

I'm going to agree with stugatz and xmikeyx and say just wear your dam seatbelt. If you've ever come to a complete stop in less than a blink of an eye without a seatbelt on, you would know why the buzzer goes off even at slow speeds.

 

Hi all,

I have a 05 manual CE with C Package and I would like to get rid of the seatbelt buzzer without affecting anything else, like the headlight on warning chime. Is it as simple as pulling a fuse?
Would that turn a seatbelt light on?

I know that this question may have been answered earlier but I didn't find any answers by looking back in earlier threads.

Thanks

Wear your seatbelt.

 

Slam into a brick wall going ten MPH and see what happens............ It hurts.

 

I like the beeper since it reminds me not to be foolish to neglect seatbelts while driving even for a few minutes. Wear seatbelts before you press the gas pedal, you will never hear the beeper.

 

wear your seatbelt... hey it could be worse.. they could make a sensor that wouldn't let you drive unless your seatbelt was on. :lol:

Making my debut on these forums by replying to an ancient post, and most likely angering those posters who don't understand the concepts of freedom and personal choice.

Minou, you may have found an answer to your question by now, but in case you haven't and for the rest of you all who are interested, I found this method posted in the Camry/Avalon forum on this same site. I tried it out on my 2005 Corolla CE (automatic), and it worked like a charm!

Disclaimer: it may come as a shock to some, but without your seatbelt on, you are more likely to sustain serious injury (or death) in the event of an accident. Even more shocking to some, we (I do at least) live in America, land of the free. Drive at your own risk, and wear your seatbelt at your own risk.

1) Turn the Car On, Do not start the engine (Leave you foot off the brake). Cycle your trip reset knob until you it reads ODO. Turn the ignition back off. Wait a couple of seconds.

2) Make sure seat belt is not fastened

3) Turn the ignition back on, do not start the car (Leave you foot off the break) As soon as you see everything light up, press and hold the trip reset knob and do a long 12 second count.

4) Keep your finger on the trip reset knob. Fasten your seat belt, as soon as you fasten your seat belt, you should see the ODO display go from XXXX miles to "b-on". At that time take your finger off the trip reset knob and press it again. It should cycle to "b-off". You should be all set and turn the ignition off and unfasten your seat belt.

 

Wow, fabulous!

It's that simple?

No, I had not found an answer to my question. The issue was also discussed at length on another forum and the consensus was to leave everything alone for now. We had found wiring diagrams and were hoping that we could easily snip a wire going from the seatbelt latch to the buzzer but Toyota had thunk of that by making sure that resistance was not zero if the wire is cut. Anyway, someting along those lines. I also saw a thread somewhere on how to remove the buzzer altogether in the instrument binacle. An undertaking I was not considering especially that removing the buzzer from the PC board would have also silenced the buzzer for the headlights-on or door open.

I was just hoping for a simple parameter re-programming such as this when I thought that none existed. OTOH, I had seen such programming of buzzers and such everywhere on sites pertaining to Ford products.

Txs, I will certainly try it and let you know.

 

One more thing.

Will that re-flashing of the seatbelt buzzer also kill the other buzzers, such as the one for the headlights-on?

Honestly, I don't know, and I'm not walking the 300 yards to my car to find out right now. Try it and see, it's easy and totally reversible. The only buzzer I ever cared about was the seatbelt one.

 

whats 300 yards...shoot, back when I was in school I had to walk 300 'miles' up hill....'both ways'. jk

I always got to hear that mess from my parents. :naughty:

you must live in a huge apt complex to walk that far...Im glad I dont live in apts anymore I hated it. I always wound up living next to the loud yelling idiots throwing their crying kids into the wall next to our bed at 5am every morning. when we told them to knock it off we heard racist momma tell her hell seed "come on tyrone, them white people likes to gets they sleep". :lol:

Who said I was in an apartment complex? Guess again...

 

Hummm...odd. That process for disabling the seatbelt chime doesn't work on 2005 XRS in Canada. Tried several times. No dice. :sosad:

 

IT WORKS!!!

Just did the reflash. Worked as advertized first try. Went for a test drive and no buzzer if I don't immediately buckle up before I get to about 15km/hr. Just the seatbelt light flashing. That's enough of a reminder for me as I always buckle up anyway.

On my way back, I unbuckled while the car was still travelling above that preset speed, and again, no buzzer, just the flashing light.

Headlights on buzzer is still operational.

Thanqs again The111, really appreciated. Wonderful.

 

Minou, what year and model of Corolla do you have? I tried on my 2005 XRS several times to no avail. In fact, where I should get the b-on/b-off...I get nothing. Same old odometer display.

That's weird. When turning igntion to "on", you're not actually starting the engine are you? That's about the only place I can think where you could take the instructions wrong. If you're doing everything right, maybe it doesn't work on yours, but I wouldn't know why...

Minou, glad it worked out for you!

I point you in the direction of this i posted a while back. All three of these are true stories too.

...
BTW: I have seen people die travelling at 5km/h in cars from not wearing seatbelts. My father used to be a Fire and Rescue officer. Here are three nice stories that may make you think otherwise:

1. Car: Hyundai Excel. Speed: ~5km/h Ijuries: Fatal. Stab Wound to the heart and lungs. Cause of death: Steering wheel collapsed impailing the driver on the column. Seatbelt: No.

2. Car: Toyota Camry. Speed: ~10km/h Injuries: Fatal. Collapsed lungs, broken ribs. Cause of death: Driver was thrown forward as the airbag deployed, flap of airbag opened and crushed drivers ribs causing collapsed lungs. Seatbelt: No

3. Car: Holden Commodore (and most others). Speed: ~110km/h. Injuries: Shock, Bruising to upper torso and slight lasserations. Severe Laserations to legs. Cause of Death: N/A. Seatbelt: Yes.

If you ask me... not wearing a seatbelt is just stupid, really. I would rather end up hospitalised and survive than dead. Oh... and i got more gory stories for you if you like.

I agree.

 

I tried this too, and it worked. I have a 2005 Corolla S.

I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt, I just don't need some annoying beeping shit if I want to wait until I get to the main gate until I put it on. Sometimes I'm still getting dressed running out the door and I can't put the seatbelt on until I'm situated, but this is all in my apt complex and on the side road. Once I hit the main road, seatbelt goes clicky. Thanks for the tip!

05 CE.

Did you count a long 12 seconds before buckling the belt while holding the trip meter button?

Or the XRS is set up differently? But I'd be surprised cause looks like both the Camry and Avalon are programmed the same way.

Good luck
