I just bought a 2007 Honda Accord. I'm old skool and never drive with my seatbelt on and that chime that comes from the indicator is driving me nuts. I know that someone in this forum can instruct me on how to kill it.

There has got to be a way to solve this...

First thing I am going to do is show you a pic of my last car.

I was the only one wearing a seatbelt, and the only one that didn't go to the hospital.

Second, if you still want to do it I'll tell you. Its survival of the fittest anyways. There are two wires going into the seatbelt connector, cut them and join them. Good luck, hope you got good medical.

If Honda added a governor to the throttle preventing the car from going faster than 55 mph, would you all be as supportive?  How about a mechanism that required a 3 second stop at a stop sign?  Stop telling people how to live their lives.  If you don't have anything constructive to answer the man's question, keep it to yourself.
 
I have research this extensively; the dealer, and hopefully some non-dealer mechanics, have honda's proprietary software ($3,000+ pricetag) which can control every aspect of the on board computer, including the chime.  Persistence and some benjamins should solve your problem.

michael1717 arent you telling people how to live their lives by saying dont tell them how to live their lives?  What was stated was constructive.     But based on your statement you arent meeting that whole requirement of having anything constructive to answer the mans question either.

Im with the crowd that hates these things.  I understand seatbelts save lives and blah blah blah but if I dont want to wear one, thats my choice.  I do wear a seatbelt 99% of the time but when I jump in and take a quick trip to the store which is about a mile away and never getting over speeds of 30 mph I dont wanna wear it and I dont want to hear this stupid thing beeping the whole way down there. 

Its this whole "we know whats best for you" idea that I dont care for. 

As was mentioned - none of us would like it if Honda somehow came out with a sensor/governor that wouldnt let you drive faster than the speed limit.  55 saves lives ya know.

And for the record, my little niece was recently in a horrible car accident and because she WASNT wearing a seatbelt, she survived.  They were broadsided and the right side of the car was completely caved in.  The cops said if she was buckled up, she likely wouldve been cut in half - literally.  I know thats the rare exception but ya never know.

I'm not for the chime either, I disconnected mine within the first month; but I still wear my seatbelt 99.9% of the time. No one here is demanding that you wear your seatbelt, if you don't want to wear it go for it. Your obviously not the brightest bulb in the pack anyways...

Easy way to stop this without messing with any electrical:  Find another seat belt (Either form a junk yard or see if they sell replacements anywhere online for cheap) cut the belt off so you only have the part that clasps in the buckle.  "Plug in" the seatbelt clasp and leave it in there.  Your car will think you have the seatbelt buckled all the time.

One quick and easy way to "kill it" would be to get in a wreck and let your head smash through the dash and short out the indicator. 
(Oh, and be sure you leave a note in your car for the coroner to let us know if that took care of it for you.)
