As it is a safety feature, it is unwise to disconnect it. A replacement buckle should be used as this contains the switch. Check also any connectors that may be loose around this area.

You can disconnect it yourself. There is a wire lead that comes from the seatbelt fastener, you may need to lift the carpet up a bit. This lead will have a connector, dis connect it at the connector. This will deactivate the alam, however your seatbelt light will remain on. From here you can see where the malfunctioning switch is, if you feel confident to change it.

I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The seat belt alarm goes off constantly with the seat belts fastened or not fastened.

There is an electrical contact in the bottom of the seat belt buckle, and associated wiring that has a connector under the seat. Check that with a multimeter for continuity.

Also, this is a function of the Body Control Module, so you may have a communication problem. This can only be solved or confirmed by getting an auto electrician to connect a pro grade scan tool computer to the OBDII port and checking.

Seat belt alarm fault

On an alarm problem this could be one of couple of possibilities, first check the sensor leads comming from the seatbelt assy itselfe, you may have to remove the seat that has the problem, look for a connector that may be particularly unplugged, next if there was any pop or juice spilled into the belt reciprocal it may neen to have a cleaning solvent applied to the aera inside the receptacle. Lastly search for this fault on the dealership website Q and A's.

My seat belt alarm keeps dinging even though my seat belt is secured/fastened. how do I make it stop?

There is a small wired connection that leads to your set belt buckle under your seat. My bet is that is loose or came disconnected as you put something under your seat. It will have a small plastic connection point in the line.

Every time I go over a big bump in road one ,two or even three rear seat belt lights come on and then start pinging/ringing and do not stop until either I switch engine off or fasten rear seat belts.

The sensors in the seat detect weight and assume there are occupants in the seats without the seat belts done up and this then triggers the warnings. If you are carrying items on the seat that bounce when you hit a bump that may trigger the alarms. Even movement in the seat unit itself when you hit a decent bump could trigger the sensors.

Just keep the rear seat belts done up and you will not have a problem with false warnings.

My seat belt alarm keeps dinging even though my seat belt is secured/fastened. how do I make it stop?

Check under both seats and make sure the wire harness is plugged in all the way. Some times shoving stuff under the seat unplugs wiring harness; seat belt sensor, occupant weight senor for air bags, heated seats & power seats (could be more than one wiring harness. Look inside belt buckle fastener; is it crusty with anything (food, crumbs, coin change)? Blow it out with a portable can of air. Make sure both the male/female parts of belt are clean, non-rusted/corroded & non-damaged to make good electrical connection when belted in; this turns off your belt warning light and bell. Check all wiring from the belt buckle release a the way down to under the seat; both sides...both seats They both seats could be interlinked into system; when one fails (bad connection) the other seat sensor fails also.
