Re: Seat Belt dinger

Are you sure you are hearing the seat belt dinger? If you fasten your seat belt, does it stop dinging? Is the seat belt light on the dash on at the same time?

Re: Seat Belt dinger

It's probably programmed that way so that you will remember to put your seat belt on before taking the vehicle out of park. I have a 2000 Mountaineer and I don't believe it dings in park unless I open the door, and that's not for the seatbelt.

According to the service manual for the 2000 Mountaineer:
"When the is turned to RUN or START from OFF or ACC, the chime will sound for six seconds or until the safety belt is buckled.

"The lamp will turn on for 60 seconds or until the driver safety belt is fastened. Both the chime and the lamp turn on at the same time.

"If the safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to RUN or START, from OFF or ACC, neither the chime nor lamp will be activated.

"Anytime the key is changed to RUN from START while the safety belt warning indicator is activated, the safety belt warning indicator will remain activated until either the timing sequence has been executed or the safety belt is buckled."

My 2004 Lincoln allows me to turn the chime off and the instructions on how to do it are listed in the owner's manual. You may want to check there.
