Seat belt buzzer goes off and on all the time.

[callbay]

2007 Doge 1500 pickup Hemi with 167,000 miles-

When I am the only one in the vehicle and nothing is on the passenger seat the buzzer goes off every 15 or 20 seconds.

Got any idea how to fix this.

Thanks!

Buckle up the passenger seatbelt

Did these get pretensioners? Are you getting any seatbelt or airbag lights? Do you have a scanner capable of pulling SRS codes?

I tried buckling the passenger belt and it did not change.

I just have a regular code reader about 10 years old.

Probably needs a new buckle. The switch or sensor inside has probably failed. It is likely connected to SRS to let airbag system know whether to inflate or not depending if someone is buckled in. Maybe there is a seat sensor as well for 2 stage SRS. This is important to any passengers in the chance there is an accident.

$75 new. I wouldn't go for a recycled on at this point being an SRS component.

I'd do some more research before firing the parts cannon, but I'd totally get an ebay unit if it's determined to need a new buckle. Lots of JYs on ebay selling decent used parts.

Not trying to disagree with others, it's just what you're comfortable with I guess.

Try spraying some electrical contact cleaner in the female receiving end of the seatbelt buckle and inserting/removing the seatbelt latching tongue several times. If that does not work, you can temporarily disable the buzzer from sounding without shutting off the SRS airbags by following the steps below.

The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert) can be enabled
or disabled by your authorized dealer or by
following these steps:

NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first
60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON
or START position. DaimlerChrysler does not recommend
deactivating the Enhanced Warning System
(BeltAlert).

1. With all doors closed and the ignition switch in any
position except On or Start, buckle the driver's seat belt.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait
for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off.
3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the
ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver's
seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending
with the seat belt buckled.
NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn on
while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt.
It may be necessary to retract the seat belt.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A
single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully
completed the programming.
The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert) can be reactivated
by repeating this procedure.
NOTE: Although the Enhanced Warning System
(BeltAlert) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt Warning
Light will continue to illuminate while the driver's seat
belt remains unbuckled.

I don't think that's what he's experiencing at all. The vehicle is panicked about something else SRS related. At least, based upon my experience with my '07 F150

I wonder if it's the passenger seat occupancy sensor.

I wonder if it's the passenger seat occupancy sensor.

I've seen those go bad with similar symptoms

Dodge has a fob button sequence to turn off the seatbelt chime. I used it for my 2009 caravan.
