Unable to remove Seatbelt chime

[Medic3166]

2025 F-150 STX SuperCrew

I tried disabling the seatbelt chime as instructed in the owners manual & it didn't work.

Tried disabling it in forscan using the method in the spreadsheet and that didn't work either. Am I missing something or did they disable the option for 2025MY?

I was able to disable the chime in my 24 Lariat. I don't know if they changed anything on the 2025. I wanted seat belt chime and alert on dashboard gone too.

Here's my changes.

The procedure changed in 2025, don't use the same procedure as previous years. I just used the instructions in the owners manual, the new procedure doesn't involve waiting for the seat belt light to go out, you just run the buckle in and out I think it was 5 or 7 times then the light flashes then.

Tried it verbatim from the owners manual. Still doesn’t work.

You have a very unique problem, I would need a Vin to check if you need updates, short of that you will need to see a Dealer.

The funny thing is the manual from Ford’s website pulled up from the VIN, and the manual on the screen in the truck have different instructions.

I just had luck watching the airbag light next to the seatbelt icon. Just leave the messages alone (big boxes that pop up) and immediately start the plug and unplug sequence. The cadence should be 1 second intervals. Plugin 1sec, unplug 1sec, plugin 1sec……… I reached 6 sets before the seatbelt icon flashed and it worked. BUT I tried it again and it took 10 times. So if you are running into issues just keep doing the plugin and unplug sequence until you get the flashing. Cycle the ignition after and you should be good.

Starting the seat belt in/out sequence as soon as the airbag light goes off worked for me. I previously tried ForScan, and like the owners manual said, with no luck.

Just an update, as other mentioned I was finally able to get it by starting after the airbag light went off. Also, I wasn’t unlocking and clicking the seatbelt fast enough
