Seat bell warning disabling: How?

Interpersonally: Get older or get younger. If this is your most pressing problem today, go work with some folks less fortunate than you and get a grip on real problems. New Orleans is still one hell of a mess, for isntance.

Technically: I'll bet there's a wire pair going from your seat belt fastener that can be trivially modfied (shorted or opened) to simulate an "always fastened" state. Risk though is that any logic that modifies airbag deployment for an unbelted (e.g. stupid) occupant may be defeated.

Air bags are unneccesery anyway so who cares if they dont work. New Orleans is just an example of what the welfare state has created. Lazy criminals who expect someone else to take responsibility for them.

This is the a.a.subaru forum, right?

The routine listed at the site below worked for my wife's 03 Outback as well as my 06 WRX Sportwagon;

Simply buckle and un-buckle the driver seatbelt 20 times in 30 seconds after turning the key to accessories (motor off). Worked in my 07 Legacy.

And how much does it cost in pollution to restart it every few minutes?

Thanks for the advice. I'll try it out.

I think it's funny that you're leaving the motor running at the recycling place. Gives the kids a mixed message, don't it?

You're right about that. Years ago I had a co-worker who's young (3yrs. or so) daughter had a heart problem. Her surgery was unsuccessful and she later died.

At the time, my biggest problem was getting the wire wheels on my XKE balanced. I was single, of course.

I'm not a joiner, so I just help out with cash. I give a lot (relatively speaking as that varies according to your circumstances). Last donation was $10K to our town's library foundation for which my wife was a founding member. She does all the people work, I just pay the bills.

Yes, we have to supplement our town's library budget. Sad state of government, isn't it?

Apparently, very little (less than the pollution produced by idling for

Apparently the school bus drivers, the semi drivers, the commuter locomotive engineers, and the .... haven't gotten the word. What I do once a week when I responsibly separate my trash is trivial compared to them.

Tried it and it worked like a champ. I did the three cycle one.

I suppose this was developed for the mechanics who are working on your car so they don't go bonkers with all of the beeping in the shop.

Thanks again.

Big difference.. those are all industrial diesel engines. The black smoke you see when one of these is started is not exactly environmentally friendly.

Depending on how the belt deploys, easiest in these circumstances is probably get out, fasten it and just keep getting in and sitting oon yop of it 'til you finish, then go back to normal. Works in lots of things. Doesn't work in Saabs, Volvos or anything else that also has a pressure pad in the cushion.
