The best way to eliminate that annoying buzzing is to remove the relay
from under the dash. Cutting wires has a tendency to leave live wires
hanging around. It's easy to find the right relay -- just leave the
seatbelt disconnected and pull out the relay that's vibrating. Since
this relay has a built-in timer, it could be very handy for custom anti-
theft devices.
To everyone in the northern hemisphere, Happy Winter Solstice!
To everyone in the southern hemisphere, Happy Summer Solstice! Now give
us back the sun.
Don't forget to sacrifice a turkey or ham to the earth goddess of your
choice this harvest festival season.
