Hello,
Is there any way I can disable this function? B/C my job requires me to
make allot of stops very often within the area. Sometimes I must sit idle
to monitor traffic patterns and influx. That darn alarm just keeps ringing
all the time from block to block.

Thanks,
Steph

Don,
Thanks for the info but that hack did not work for my 2005 Ford Focus.
Unfortunately that specific hack works only for the 2003 & 2004 model. I
was able to get my all-door-1-press-unlock hack to work. Please let me know
if there is something available for the 2005 or you/of-someone who was able
to get the seatbelt hack to work for the 2005 model. Thanks,
Steph

ps
there are also hacks available for your dvd players to allow all-region play
and allow most formats to work like divx

(1) Timing is critical with these hacks. Were you going through
the belts-lights quickly enough?

(2) Check your car's instruction manual to see if the procedure
has changed.

(3) Check with a Ford service department for the procedure.

(4) Try posting on any of these message boards.

Are you telling us that you are too damn lazy (or are you just stupid)
to buckle and unbuckle your seat belt? It only takes a few seconds and
it can save your life.

I can't believe that you would actually have the time to reply with an
answer like that when I explained my working conditions. Bill R. you really
show your ignorance. Sometimes I drive at 5mph in private complexes. I did
not know that I could die driving on idle with no traffic around in new
subdivision neighborhoods. Thanks for your intellectual input from a
professional like yourself. I think that am very well educated enough to
know this information. Maybe I should just stand in the middle of a forest
with a metal rod during a thunderstorm with excessive lighting, maybe I'll
avoid getting hit too.

Just buckle the seat belt behind the seat and it will never bother you
again.

Well, you could just put on the seat belt. Even if you are just
creeping around parking lots or sitting in a stationary car (if
you have to be stationary for long periods of time, why not just
turn the car off so that you don't waste fuel or have to hear any
seat belt alarms?), having the seat belt on does no harm (it may
help if someone else crashes into you).

Hi,
Under the drivers seat is a cable that runs to a connector by the "seat
forward/back adjustment lever". Just unplug it from the seat and it should
do the trick. Works like (open circuit=alarm off) mode. I disabled mine the
second day I owned the car.
