[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 435419, member: 18789"] just unplug the seat belt wire. No, it won’t drain the battery. It’s a ground circuit and if the seat belt harness isn’t plugged in then the circuit can’t draw anything. If you want to clean up the looks then you can follow the wiring back into the body loom and cut it and heat shrink and tape it off. The main thing is the ground for the buzzer/light runs out to the buckle and back. The buckle completes the circuit when NOT buckled. Buckling opens the circuit which cuts the light off. Simply unplugging the connector or cutting the wires also opens the circuit, so it’s the same effect as buckling. [/QUOTE]
