If I remember correctly, I read something on this site that says the door chime and the decapitator seat belts are on the same circuit or something (too lazy to search )
If that is true, if someone were to remove the door chime or at the very least unplug it or whatever, would that upset the seat belt control unit?
The wagon has the blinking seat belt light that says it's got a code stored, and I recently realized that I've never heard the door chime in that car, so I was wondering if the two are related.
TIA!

There's a little black connector (2-pin I think) among all the other connectors (headlight switch, ignition switch, etc) coming from the steering column. It goes to the switch that tells you whether or not a key is in the ignition switch. A lot of times people disconnect this when working under the dash to make the chime stop. Someone may have done that on this car and forgotten to reconnect it.

Oh, sorry, yeah, I didn't explain -- It does have something to do with the auto seat belts. The power belts behave differently when the key is in than when it's not. I forgot how exactly. But the power belt control unit does take the "key-in" switch as an input.

The beeper is annoying, goes off when key is turned to RUN position until car is started, just when I am listening for the fuel pump relay to click and pump to run to diagnose an intermittent hard starting problem. I assume the beeper is part of the gauge cluster? I need to disable this even if I have to install a switch or jumper to do it temporarily.
