How to Disable the Seatbelt Chime in a 2005 Chevy
Some 2005 Chevrolets come with a seat-belt chime to remind you to fasten your seat belt whenever you start the vehicle. Many people find it very annoying. But there is a way to disable it, and you can change it back if you change your mind. If you are someone who always forgets to put on your seat belt, keep in mind that in many states it is illegal to drive without your seat belt fastened. In that case, it may not be such a bad idea to retain the seat-belt chime as a quick reminder.

Find a junkyard and ask the dealer if he or she has a 2005 Chevy of the same model as yours. If so, go to the junkyard with a pair of scissors and cut the seat belt clip off of the strap. You may have to remove the whole seat-belt assembly first or the junkyard dealer may have one already. Alternatively, you can call your local auto parts store and see if they sell a seat belt clip that will fit your buckle. The sales person can determine which size to sell you based on your vehicle identification number.
2Put the seat-belt clip into the seat-belt buckle on your Chevy. This will turn off the sea-tbelt reminder. When you are ready to fasten your seat belt, remove the junkyard seat-belt clip and put on your seat belt.
3Pull out the seat belt as far as it will go and wrap it around the back side of your drivers seat. Clip the seat-belt clip into the seat-belt buckle. This will stop the chiming.
