embarrasing newbie question - Page 2

I have gotten in the habbit of always turning the TC off after starting the car. It is no fun pulling out into heavy traffic and having the TC cut the engine power, car does kind of a nose dive and you run the risk of getting rearended.

Same here. It's automatic for me now when I start my car. Jumped out across a turnpike one night and almost sent my girlfriend through the windshield when I banged second.

Verrrry dangerous safety mechanism for a 400+ horsepower car.

I got ahold of SVT yesterday and asked them about the cerificates and when a person should recieve theirs? They told me it takes about 3 months (usually), and if anybody recieved theirs before that, then they got lucky, and their dealership was on top of things.

Blk04cobra1~I noticed you said you cut your wires to get rid of that pain the a$$ reminder chime for the seatbelt, I just wanted to let you know that in the manual there is a way to disengage the chime. Although cutting wires is probably easier

I disengaged mine the day I bought the car

you guys should always wear your sealt belts

sssvtcobra · 01-11-2005, 06:05 PM

I wear mine 99% of the time

But I live 2 minutes from work, and I work graveyard, so not many of those nice, friendly, caring, protecting, officers of the law out

Plus anytime your just stopped and talking to somebody and the car is on that damn thing can drive you

But jsut waite until the windows are tinted just as dark if not darker than a limo, then I'm pretty sure I'll still wear it 99% of the time

Thanks you the info on being able to turn off the seat belt chimes. I wear my belt all the time around town. Burt when I am on track I wear a harness and get tried of the chimes going off.

Hey, no problem. I hate that chime. It even does it when the car is on but not running, doesn't make since.

NewFoundPower · 01-12-2005, 12:30 PM

Since I am being lazy, could you guys tell me how to disengage that stupid seatbelt alarm?

It's pretty easy.
1. Shut all the doors, and turn off lights.
2. Put car in nuetral
3. Turn the key to the on position, but do not start
4. You will see the seatbelt reminder light come on
5. After it shuts off, (takes about 2 minutes) you must buckle, then unbuckle the seat belt 3 times ending with it being unbuckled. Then turn the headlights on then off. Then buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt 3 more times. All under 60 seconds.
6. Then the seatbelt light comes back on for about 3-4 seconds.
7. After the light shuts off, you then have to buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt 1 more time within 7 seconds of the light shutting off.
8. You will notified if it worked by the light flashing 4 times, after the last step.

Do those simple steps and your chimes will go away for ever

Hope you can understand all that.

you do the hokie pokie and you turn yourself around...that's what it's all about

Im not trying to be an ass, all though it may come off that way, but it took all of 30seconds to find the wire and snip it...but you could avoid that by following those detailed instructions above...i guess im just too impatient
