cut the end off of your seatbelt, then stick it in the buckle.

I can't believe he thought the seat icons were upside down 7's!

Seriously though--take it to the dealership and have it checked out, as there is probably something wrong with your sensors in the seat belt harness.

UNLESS--you don't buckle up...then please, buckle up dude.

It is my observation that he was making a joke... He knows that is the seatbelt light ;P .. He was just trying to ask how to unhook the light in a comical way... I would also like to know how to fix it so the light never blinks... Also the passanger one... I only wear my seatbelt while driving on the interstate, so any time I am just cruising or whatever, I have that damn light blinking in my face.... That silly red man with no arms and an upside-down 7.

honestly, there is a sensor under the seat that makes the passenger light go on when someone sits there. You can probably just unplug it. But then the pasenger airbag wont go off in a crash.

I haven't checked but you should be able to unplug it. I did it on 2 other cars cuz they would make buzzing noises every 3 minutes if you didn't wear the belt. Check for a plug

just give the passenger seat a good punch in the middle of the bottom cushion...someone else had that problem a few months back and that's how he fixed it. I guess the sensor gets stuck????
