Bloody beeping noise at start up

[Ian H]

Is there any way to stop that beeping when you turn on the ignition? All I want to do is lower a window but the thing beeps a few times when the ignition is turned on and it's not good in a caravan park first thing in the morning or at night.

Yep. Bugged the out of me too.

Full disclosure, there is some discussion as to whether or not disconnecting that stops the airbag from deploying. I don't think it would (certainly not on the drivers side, but possible on the passenger) but nobody has been able to say for sure in previous discussions that I've read on here. A mechanic told me that doing this on the passenger side on some Fords will stop the passenger side from deploying.

(I have both mine disconnected)

If I remember correctly someone muted the beeping by sticking some blutack over the speaker.

Great idea. Where's the speaker?

Without having looked at a circuit diagram, what happens if the switch is permanently shorted out? Let the system think the seat belts are on?

OK, the passenger side airbag will deploy in an accident, whether there is somebody there or not. Any other issues to worry about?

yes, I recall some discussion a while ago.

I've just finished reading section 52B (SRS system) of my Mitsubishi NX in the technical manual and workshop manual. I've also reviewed the wiring diagrams.
Here are some observations:
1. It makes no mention of the seat belt switch being an input into the SRS ECU
2. There are no error codes associated with a faulty seat belt switch. Every other input has a code.
3. There is no wire on the wiring diagram from the seat switch to the to the SRS ECU. There are connections to the seat belt pretensioner,
4. Says CANBus communication is for diagnostics, and to display the warning lamp in the instrument cluster
5. it says it activates both front airbags in the event of a frontal collision
6. it does make reference to a passenger’s air bag cut off switch is located above inside the glove box

Furthermore, normally anything related to the SRS systems has a yellow rising harness. The seat belt switch is black.

I'm pretty confident the airbag and seat belt switch are independent. I'm leaving my drivers side disconnected. Passenger is still connected as my kids sometimes forget to buckle up.

DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility for the information above. Disconnecting the seat belt switch is entirely at your own risk.

Buckle up BEFORE turning the key on?
Works for me.

If you actually read the thread from the start, you'll see this doesn't address the OP's problem - that of concern for others.

Like the grey nomads in the caravan park who don't like being woken by unnecessary chimes first thing in the morning?

Some people try to be considerate.

Dont know how many parks you have stayed in . I,ve been in heaps and the chime from my seat belt would be the least thing to wake up a grey nomad. Starting your car is heaps louder...so does that mean no driving off before 7.30am? I think not. Many of the grey nomads are up at sparrows fart to get on the road early. PLUS...if your really that worried...open the door and quickly jump in the car at the speed of sound to ensure no chirp gets out...

Or he could get rid of the bloody beeping noise.

So, who's whinging....I repeat S L O W L Y for ya.
Buckle up BEFORE you turn on the ignition....even, as for the OP, if it's to open a window.
Takes about 2 seconds of your life to avoid the annoying beep.
Jeezuz...some people.
