Is it possible to disable the seatbelt alarm on the new f150 ?

Also, Is it possible to disable the other nagging alarms ? (lights, door open, etc...)


thanks

the seat belt delete is in the owners manual.

Yes, the arcane procedure for disabling the seat belt alarm is in the owners manual. I did it. It works.

i was able to complete the disable seatbelt reminder too. however where it says to turn the key like 7 times it did not work. it took after 3 times at the "turn key" step.

can somebody post the procedure that you followed ?

my owner manual says

parking brake on
turn key on
wait until seatbelt sign turn off
buckle/unbuckle 9 times
wait for airbag light to go off
buckle/unbuckle one last time

tried this at least a dozen time and no luck !

Door closed and sitting in the seat? I ask because i tried the passenger side while sitting in the drivers side and it would not take. When I moved over and sat in the Pass side it worked...might have been coincidence...

kneedragger

yep, door closed.

Is there a way to reset this ? now when I try the procedure, the airbag light wont come on after the first step

tried it again today. same result !

found a post on another forum that describes the exact same problems I have been having. Since I live in canada, maybe the procedure doesnt work / differs from the one in the owners manual.

will call the dealer on monday to get this fixed

Im suprised nobody posted about the same issue. I always wear my seat belt on public roads, but if you are carrying a trailer filled with sand on your property at 2 mph for a few hundred yards, would be nice if the annoying beltminder stopped buzzing every 5 seconds

Buckle it up and just sit on it...

I made a mistake earlier in my post.

This is straight from my 2009 f150 owners guide

Preperation
1. the parking brake is set
2. truck in park
3. ignition switch is in off position
4. both seat belts are unbuckled

Disable Belt-Minder
1. turn the ignition switch to the on position, DO NOT START THE ENGINE.
2. wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (approximately 1 minute).
* step 3 must be completed within 50 secs after the safety belt warning light turns off.
3. buckle then unbuckle the seat belt nine times, ending in the seat belt unbuckled.
* after step 3 the restraint warning light, (airbag light) will turn on for three (3) seconds.
4. within approximately seven (7) seconds of the light turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.
* the restraint system warning light will flash four, (4) times per second for 3 seconds for confirmation

you can do this for the passenger side also!!!


*NOTE
in step 3. after three times buckling and unbuckling the restraint warning light lit up in my truck. SO I WENT TO THE NEXT STEP, (STEP 4). waited 3 seconds and i buckled and unbuckled.

in the buckle /unbuckle procedure do it some what slowly and watch for the light. it may not take 9 times.

then again maybe i have the only truck that worked this way.
