Anyone know how to disable that super-annoying Seatbelt Chime on an 05 Freestyle?

I have a long driveway, and in the afternoons, I pick up the mail on the way in, and that Chime is awful!

I've ordered a wiring schematic, but it hasn't gotten here yet!

Thanks!

Give this a a try...

Preparation
NOTE: The driver and front passenger belt minder are deactivated/activated independently. When deactivating/activating one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this terminates the process.

Before deactivating/activating the belt minder, set the parking brake.

Place the transmission selector lever in PARK (P).

Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

Unbuckle the driver and front passenger safety belts.

Deactivating/Activating

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do not start the engine).

Wait approximately 1 minute until the safety belt warning indicator turns off.

NOTE: Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning indicator turns off.To disable the seating position, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 9 times, ending in the unbuckled state.

After Step 3, the air bag warning indicator illuminates for 3 seconds.

Within 10 seconds of the indicator turning on, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt.

This disables the belt minder feature for that seating position, if it is currently enabled. As confirmation, the air bag warning indicator flashes 4 times per second for 3 seconds.

This enables the belt minder feature for that seating position, if it is currently disabled. As confirmation, the air bag warning indicator flashes 4 times per second for 3 seconds, followed by 3 seconds with the light off, then followed by the air bag warning indicator flashing 4 times per second for 3 seconds again.
