Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / June 2007seat belt warning sound
Hello, I have a 99 Malibu and I want to disable the seat belt warning alarm when you start the car with the seat belt unfastened. Can I just connect the 2 wires that go to the latch together with a wire nut to shut off the alarm without damaging the car? Thanks, Marty That's a safety feature, why would you want to disable it?! After about a minute or so the alarm will stop on it's own...

Ok, please explain to me how it is a safety feature when I am not sitting in the driver's seat and I reach in through the passenger side door to start the car so I can get some heat to defrost the windows, and I am forced to hear that annoying sounder for about 10 to 15 seconds every time the car is started. If GM wanted to make it a real safety feature they would have the sounder go off if the belt was not connected when someone puts the car into gear. It used to be set up this way back when the government first wanted to encourage seat belt usage back in the 70's. However, that still doesn't answer my question which was will connecting the wires together that go to the buckle disable that annoying sounder or will it cause an error in the computer system. I would appreciate if someone on here would answer the question?

Don Young Marty, You never explained yourself, you merely asked how to "disable the seatbelt warning alarm." But anyway, that warning alarm that you're hearing isn't actually for the seatbelts, it's for the key that's in the ignition. In other words, that's the cars way of letting you know that you've forgotten the key in the ignition. Hope this helps...
