    seat belt warning sound

    Hello,
    I have a 99 Malibu and I want to disable the seat belt warning alarm when
    you start the car with the seat belt unfastened. Can I just connect the 2
    wires that go to the latch together with a wire nut to shut off the alarm
    without damaging the car?
    Thanks,
    Marty

    That's a safety feature, why would you want to disable it?!

    After about a minute or so the alarm will stop on it's own...

    Ok, please explain to me how it is a safety feature when I am not sitting
    in the driver's seat and I reach in through the passenger side door to start
    the car so I can get some heat to defrost the windows, and I am forced to
    hear that annoying sounder for about 10 to 15 seconds every time the car is
    started. If GM wanted to make it a real safety feature they would have the
    sounder go off if the belt was not connected when someone puts the car into
    gear. It used to be set up this way back when the government first wanted
    to encourage seat belt usage back in the 70's. However, that still doesn't
    answer my question which was will connecting the wires together that go to
    the buckle disable that annoying sounder or will it cause an error in the
    computer system. I would appreciate if someone on here would answer the
    question?

    I do not know the answer to your question but it would seem that you could
    find out by just leaving the belt buckled.

    Marty,

    You never explained yourself, you merely asked how to "disable the seatbelt
    warning alarm." But anyway, that warning alarm that you're hearing isn't
    actually for the seatbelts, it's for the key that's in the ignition. In
    other words, that's the cars way of letting you know that you've forgotten
    the key in the ignition.

    Hope this helps...
