Is there any way to turn off the fasten seatbelt light ( except for the obvious answer "wear your seatbelt" ) ?

And please, no lectures on not wearing seatbelts. I know it is stupid, dangerous, and illegal...

Thanks,

Nick

But I will. It is just a circut that is completed by putting the tab in the slot. So try and get a needle and pierce the wire running from the (I don't know the name, but it is where you put the tab) and if you pierce the hot and the ground it should complete the connection and trick it into thinking its connected. Then just get some cutters and cut the ends off and wrap it in tape. I don't know if it will work but the logic is sound. BTW my real name is Jon Smith.

Thanks, bogg...

Do you know if the seatbelt and airbag are somehow linked to each other ?

I fear if I mess with the seatbelt then it would do something to the airbag.

( ex. airbag deploys differently if seatbelt is on or off )

I often wonder if since I don't wear a seatbelt the airbag would do more harm than good ?

I was hoping it was a simple fuse or something. Not sure if I want to be messing with the wires.

Anyway, thanks for the response !
