I will be taking delivery of my Ranger Wildtrak in early February 2018.
I have MRS exemption from wearing a lap and sash seat belt, long story short, I was involved in a traumatic MVA where the other driver fell asleep at the wheel and drove straight into my car and some of the physical damage I suffered included 17 breaks to my rib cage, my sternum was split in three places and I had to have the lower 5 vertebrae fused into a single bone.
Currently when I'm driving my partners little Kia or my Land Rover Discovery I insert a seat belt "catch" I obtained from my local wrecker into the "female" portion of the seat belt to stop the alarm from sounding off, its far easier than disconnecting the seat pressure switch -- will this method work in the Ranger or am I going to have to do some programming with the Forscan ?

You will just disable seat belt reminder with Forscan or the manual procedure I may have posted here. If not it's in my thread in the ranger forums.

It will but using the manual procedure to turn off takes 10 secs and requires no tools, hardware or software.
I will find the post or repost my original one.
