Is there anyway to turn off the ding ding ding seatbelt warning on the 95 Accord EX? The light is fine, just the sound. Thanks "RodgerDodger=\)i" <ddlld23REMOVE@XXcsiREMOVE.com> wrote in news:5ZOdnUf0rph8doDeRVn-iA@giganews.com: > Is there anyway to turn off the ding ding ding seatbelt warning on the > 95 Accord EX? The light is fine, just the sound. Thanks 1) Buckle belt behind your back. 2) Go to wrecker's. Cut buckle off old belt. Insert that into receptacle as desired.

Thanks > > Why not find the source of the ding ding ding and disconnect it? Harder than it sounds. It means removing the Integrated Control Module from its (very good) hiding place, and putting a wood screw in the speaker to stop the diaphragm from vibrating. This is what I've done with my Integra. I was going to just unsolder the speaker and replace it with a resistor, but I don't know how to determine the rating of resistor that would be needed.

I supposed that the module would expect some sort of current and resistance to be present in that location, otherwise problems may arise. SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ If you just removed the speaker from the circuit I do not see this causing any problems, I doubt the engineers would design a "speaker missing detect circuit". This is a lot easier than using your method of killing the sound. A speaker is considered an inductive load and the resistance would essentially be zero.

However, suppose the "speaker" is piezo? Probably your main argument still applies, but the resistance would be way high, rather than nearly zero. >> If you just removed the speaker from the circuit I do not see this >> causing any problems, I doubt the engineers would design a "speaker [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Can't blame "TeGGeR®" for erring on the side of caution, Ignorance breeds caution, hence my decision to simply hand-tighten a short #8 wood screw against the metal diaphragm through the hole in the speaker's plastic top. I can undo this any time I want. > but I'm > inclined to agree with you. > However, suppose the "speaker" is piezo? In this case, it is. It's the same sort of "speaker" you find on computer modems and motherboards. It's maybe a half-inch across, and three-eighths thick. > Probably your main argument > still applies, but > the resistance would be way high, rather than nearly zero. Thus requiring a resistor? SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Well TeGGeR, I have been an electronics technician for over 25 years now and I know exactly the type of speaker you are talking about, remove the speaker and you have an open circuit, the computer would function normally trust me.

As Grahame says, there's probably no 'sense' circuit, and either way, it's unlikely to cause anything to burn up. High power stuff that might fail to to over/underload usually has the sensing. Most other stuff is designed to handle anything from a dead short to open without fail. >> "Doug McCrary" <DougMcCrary@spamcop.net> wrote >> In this case, it is.

The light is fine, just the sound. Thanks Seat belts save lifes, so buckup! Yes, thanks. I buckle everywhere. Everywhere, except, my 140 home neighborhood that I drive 2mph mailbox to mailbox to deliver association fliers (not in the mailbox of course for you postal inspectors) and the seatbelt straps me in so well, I cannot reach out far enough to make a safe delivery. So, for the 2 hour period once per month, I was hoping to to be ding free. > Seat belts save lifes, so buckup! Yes, thanks. I buckle everywhere.

Thanks The smartest way to disable the sound is to wear the seatbelt. That way you won't become disabled. Brian I suggest swapping the wiring on the plug under the seat to swap the normally open/normally closed contacts. That way it will only annoy people who buckle/use the seat belt. If you just unplug the connector, it will flag an SRS error which will have to be manually cleared. > Is there anyway to turn off the ding ding ding seatbelt warning on the 95 > Accord EX?
