I have a 1991 Accord and the Seat Belt Control uint is beeping constantly. I swapped it with a good 1990 accord unit so the trouble is the control unit. Does anyone know if I can disable the beeper or where I could find a cheap used one? thanks Jim

 

The seat belt assembly is supposed to be under lifetime warranty from Honda. American Honda is trying to save money by making a distinction between the seat belt assembly's mechanical components (covered by warranty) and electrical components (not covered by warranty), even though the actual warranty (which I still have) doesn't make that distinction. In other words, all seat belt assembly components should be covered for repair/replacement.

I filed a complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm
or call 1-888-327-4236,
The NHTSA representative told me that if enough people file a complaint about the seat belt warning sensor, the NHTSA will make American Honda recall the part(s) as defective. Even if you've already repaired the seat belt assembly, you should still file a complaint, because you can get a reimbursement for the repair if there's a recall.

The NHTSA rep also told me that I should file a complaint against American Honda with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for Honda's failure to uphold their lifetime warranty on the seat belt assembly. I did that at:
