2006 camry disable seat belt alarm?

This may not be what you want to hear, but the easiest way to silence the seat belt alarm is to fasten the seat belt.

Silencing the alarm is simple if you have some basic automotive electrical skills but difficult if you do not have those skills.

Assuming I have some basic automotive electrical skills, can you tell me how I can do this? I have replaced fuse and jump started my 82 firebird few times. Is there a fuse for this seat belt alarm?

Thanks aga> > Hi. I have 2006 Camry LE and I would like to know how to disable its

Go drive off a big cliff....

Again...go drive off a cliff....

The alarm and you will be out of the way....

Yeah, not the answer you're looking for, but... fasten your seatbelt; works every time.

I do not want to sound insulting or condescending, but IMO, the ability to replace a fuse or jump a dead battery is not the same as having basic automotive electrical skills. I can sew a button on a shirt but I do not have what I would consider to be basic sewing skills.

My background is making vehicles conform to factory specifications, so I generally do not give out advice on altering or modifying cars, particularly when it comes to safety systems. IMHO, giving instructions on bypassing a federally mandated safety system is as responsible as showing a three year old how to get around the child safety caps on drugs or rat poison.

Someone with basic automotive electrical skills would not be asking the question because the seat belt warning circuit is one of the most basic in a car. Someone with basic automotive electrical skills would be able to read a wiring diagram, identify the seat belt switch circuit, and close the circuits for the seat belt switches without having to cut any wires.

Put on your seatbelt. I don't like paying higher insurance premiums because of idiots like you.

For once Scott and I agree.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh no! He probably thinks that seat belts are annoying because they wrinkle his clothes and confine him to his seat. (He might be desirous of experiencing what the mother of a former girl friend of mine experienced while riding as a passenger in a Datsun pickup truck (without belts) many years ago. The Datsun had a severe collision, she was thrown forward and broke the windshield with her face, and had to undergo about 7,000 (yes, no misprint...that's seven thousand) stitches in her face.) She recovered, but would never be a movie star.

That woman was pretty lucky. Many unbelted occupants unintentionally exit the vehicle.

It is quite easy...

Drive over a cliff and make sure your seat belts are not connected....

You will be out of the gene pool and the world will be better off...

You could try jamming a piece of sheet-metal cut to fit the shape of the seat belt plug into the seat belt thing.

or (taken from google groups) Here is your solution to the annoying seatbelt alarm (works on all Toyotas, I used it on my 2005 Corolla and yes, I always use my seatbelt):

(1) Turn the Car "ON," but do not start the engine (leave your foot off the brake, don't fasten seatbelt). Cycle your trip reset knob until it reads ODO. Turn the ignition back off. Wait a couple of seconds. (2) Make sure your seat belt is not fastened. (3) Turn the ignition back on, do not start the car (leave your foot off the break, don't fasten seat belt). As soon as you see everything light up, press and hold the trip reset knob and do a long

12 second count. (4) Keep your finger on the trip reset knob. Fasten your seat belt. As soon as you fasten your seat belt, you should see the ODO display go from XXXX miles to "b-on." At that time, take your finger off the trip reset knob and it should cycle to "b-off." If it doesn't, just press the knob again until "b-off" appears. Once "b-off" appears, turn the ignition off and unfasten your seat belt. Now, when you start your car, you should hear the "normal" seatbelt beeping, then when you go over 10 mph, if your seatbelt is not fastened, it won't beep 54 times... the seatbelt signal will just continue to flash... but no more annoying beep!!

It should be mentioned that disabling or bypassing this safety system in any way is discouraged by vehicle manufacturers, insurance companies, safety specialists and many other private and public organizations and individuals. However, there are conditions for which seatbelt use is extremely uncomfortable or presents more harm than benefit, such as in the case of certain abdominal/thoracic medical conditions, morbid obesity, etc. I personally think you are an idiot if you disable your seat belt and don't really need to.

However, there are conditions for which seatbelt use is extremely

I do not know about abdominal/thoracic medical conditions that would make it safer to go without a seatbelt than with a seat belt, but in the case of morbid obesity, Toyota offers custom seat belt extenders at no charge.

Driving without the seat belt fastened also reduces or eliminates the benefits of air bags. One must remain in the vehicle to receive the benefits of passive restraints.

Because snipped-for-privacy@earthlink.net could, he/she/it opin'd:

Yes. But it's a lot like dancing the Hokey-Pokey. Here 'tis:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Turn the key to the 'on' position. Using the trip meter button, toggle the LCD until 'ODO' is displayed.

Turn the key off. Turn the key back to the 'on' position. Within six seconds of doing so, press and hold the trip meter button for ten seconds. After ten seconds, buckle the driver's side seatbelt.

The buzzer by default is set to on. Once you've held the trip meter button for ten seconds and then buckled the driver's side seatbelt, the LCD will then display 'b-OFF', telling you that the buzzer is now turned off. You can now let go of the trip meter button. If pressed again in this mode, you will set the buzzer back to on ('b-ON').

*NOTE* If the battery or combination meter is disconnected, you will have to follow the procedure again.

--------------------------------------------------------------

At least, that worked for my '05 Camry. Now I don't have that ^%$#ing irritation the whole time when I back out of the garage, turn around, go out to the mailbox, drop off the mail and then BUCKLE UP before I go into traffic when the seat belt might be needed.[*]

Oh yeah, it doesn't *eliminate* the dinging; it merely reduces it to a reasonable reminder:

[*] Note to those who have answered the OP: I KNOW when I should have my seat belt fastened; I have a BRAIN and I USE it!

The easiest method of disabling the alarm is to buckle up.

Replacing a fuse and jump starting is not the basic skill set that is needed.

Buckle up. The alarm will stop.
