Question Can the seat sensors be turned off?

Yes, I know. I'm guilty. Sometimes, I don't wear my seat belt. I'll probably die in an accident.

But I'd still like to know if there's an easy way to disconnect the seat sensors. I hate those warning lights on the dash. For some reason I can't ignor them for very long.

I haven't tried yet on my 4th Gen. I know its possible on the third as theres a plug underneath the seat that shut off the seat belt blinking.

I'll check it out this weekend and repost. I have been meaning to do that anyway.

For now I usually stuff a folded up invoice into the seatbelt slot when I'm at work just to turn it off. All of my driving when I'm at the quarry is usually under 10 mph and offroad.

on my 96 taco under the seat there is a two wire connector and I just unplugged it. It's just a normally closed dry contact.

I know I could "just wear it", but the whole point of the post was to figure out of way of disabling it.

This isn't a debate over whether I should wear it or not. I'd just like to know how to disconnect it.

I think I have the passenger side figured out. The smaller of the two connectors is the sensor. I haven't figured out the drivers side. There are two connectors under there too, but one powers the lumbar control. The other I'm not sure. I disconnect it and nothing happens.

thanks,
