I have a 2011 Cherokee and I found out how to turn off the seat belt alert. While the alert stopped going off the msg still pops up on the dashboard display and I have to hit "back" on the steering wheel. Is there a way to stop the msg from popping up?

You could always locate the sensor wires (generally near the floor by the bolt holding the seat belt clip on), snip em and twist them together. That way the vehicle always thinks you are wearing the seatbelt and has no reason to whine

Thanks. Is it easy to access on the 2011?

No clue, never touched one. Follow the "seat side" seatbelt assembly to the floor by the center console, and look for the hookup

Why are you screwing around with the restraint system on a brand new vehicle? If you wear the seat belt, the warning will go off.

Agreed with busted back, just where the seat belt. Once u where it for a bit u will never even know it is there.

Not saying he is, but he may be like me where we can't wear the seatbelt. I was in a crash where the seat belt did some very severe damage and I have a medical exemption for the seat belt law. I don't even wear one in the cruiser.

The debate doesn't need to be had here, but it goes either way with the belt. I had one occasion where it saved me but screwed me up, and two accidents where not having the seatbelt on saved my life.

I disabled it in my Jeep. My Escape also when I had it, because i got tired of hearing "ding ding ding ding ding" every thirty seconds.
