Hi all.
Can I simply stop the annoying warning noise caused by some passengers not wanting to wear their seatbelts by shorting the wires together coming from the latch/lock ? (if that makes sense) I'm a taxi driver so it would be quite handy etc.

Shorting wires is bad Simon...

Follow these steps

Deactivating/Activating

Note:
Deactivation of the belt minder may also be carried out using WDS. Follow the instructions on the screen.

1. Turn the ignition switch to position II. (Do not start the engine).

2. The safety belt warning indicator will extinguish within 10 seconds.

3. Note:
Step 3 must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure must be repeated.

Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt nine times, ending with the safety belt unbuckled.

4. The safety belt warning indicator flashes three times to confirm the belt minder status change.

5. To activate the belt minder, repeat Steps 1 through 3.

6. After confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is complete.

I can't get this to work on an 11 plate S Max, have tried several times and still the seat belt warning dings.The procedure worked fine on a 2010 Mondeo.
