Unbuckle the driver's safety belt.

Unbuckle the front passenger's safety belt.

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

The safety belt warning indicator flashes momentarily to confirm the belt minder status change.

Hi stewart

I've got a jan 16 XLT, I tried to deactivate to chimes but not go, has anyone else had any problems?

Cheers

Albert

Not that I'm aware of Albert. There is no difference so it should work perfectly. Worst case it can be disabled in Forscan or Ford IDS or get Ford to disable it on your next service.

Are you using the latest build of Forscan? It will be in IPC non asbuilt. Post screen shot if you still believe there is an issue.

Hi Yes using latest, 2.3.20 with extended license.

Thanks, I will look into it and post some as-built changes later.

Try the manual method for now.
