SeatBelt recepticle questions

Heres a DIY hack for those of us in the past that mentioned you didnt want to hear that seatbelt chime anymore.... Remove the drivers side seatbelt recepticle and replace it with a passenger side recepticle.

The Driverside is a 4 wire buckle which 2 are for the airbag system and the other 2 are for the warning chime to alert you when the belt is unbuckled. The Passenger belt does not have those extra 2 wires for the chime.

I did this hack and it works perfect and you dont have to rip out that speaker where ever it is and lose the chime cause it alerts you of other things other than seatbelts, like OBC Mph warning & door ajar.

Your last update was about the hack, but did the airbag light turn off?

The reason I'm asking is because I was told by my dealer that I had the same problem. I paid about $600 dollars (P&L) to have the seat belt receptacle wiring harness replaced. After replacing the harness, they then told me that I had a faulty belt tensioner sensor on the passenger side. At the time, it sounded like a load of BS.

I didn't replace the latter sensor, but my light is still on. Should I replace the sensor or just not worry about it?

Yeah the light is off now. Well i checked the system with a Durametric software tool and that told me that only the drivers side recepticle was faulty, so all i replaced was that... I didnt need all the wiring cause my car had that last update which i was able to tell since my car had the belts and all that stuff replace 2 years ago... just that the drivers side recepticle became crap. Can they show you the error on the device they are using to scan it?
