Hello all, the first thing I tried to do to my Maverick when I got it home was tried to disable the ANNOYING seatbelt chime that never goes off. I pulled out the owner's manual to look up the instructions (Page 42). I followed them exactly how they were written but the seatbelt warning light listed in step 2 never turned off even after 5 minutes. I tried proceeding with the steps anyways after 1 minute but had zero luck whatsoever. I played around with it for 3 days until I finally found out how to do it (On the Hybrid at least, but should be the same for Ecoboost if the manuals instructions dont work).
This is how I was able to do it. (Must be done separately for driver and passenger seat.)
For Driver's Seat:
1. Before starting the procedure, make sure your parking brake is on.
2. Get inside of the driver's seat and close the door.
3. Turn the ignition to ON but not start (key position 2, or press push to start button without your foot on the brake if you have a push to start button).
4. Wait 5 seconds, then buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt 3 times with a 1 second pause between each buckle. Wait 4 seconds, then buckle and unbuckle again. The orange/red seatbelt warning light should flash a couple times indicating that the procedure worked and was completed successfully.
5. Voila, if that didn't work, try repeating the procedure with the parking brake OFF.
For Passenger Seat:
1. Same thing, make sure parking brake is on.
2. Grab another person.
3. Sit in the driver's seat, have your helper sit in the passenger seat, and close the doors.
4. Turn the ignition to ON but not start (key position 2, or press push to start button without your foot on the brake if you have a push to start button).
5. Have your passenger do the same procedure listed in step 4 of the driver's seat procedure or do it for them as they are sitting (Wait 5 seconds, then buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt 3 times with a 1 second pause between each buckle. Wait 4 seconds, then buckle and unbuckle again. The orange/red seatbelt warning light should flash a couple times indicating that the procedure worked and was completed successfully.)
6. Voila, if that didn't work try repeating the procedure with the parking brake OFF.
For some reason, to disable the passenger seatbelt alarm, it requires both a driver and passenger to be sitting in the vehicle. I tried doing it solo in both seats and even standing up in the back seat but it never worked.
