UTVDistribution Seat Belt Harness OverRide Clip Bypass Plug compatible with Yamaha YXZ Viking Models Kawasaki KRX Mule Teryx
$ 2.28
First of all, let me say that you should wear a seatbelt when operating your UTV – I certainly do. But when I’m using our Viking VI around the property, I’m in and out so much and I got tired of the shrill alarm going off when I hit 10 mph. (They call it a ‘buzzer’, but it’s more like a klaxon.)I gave this item 5 stars because it performs the task of elegantly silencing that annoying seat belt klaxon. However, installation of this simple little shorting plug was much more difficult than I had imagined, only because the Yamaha designers made it exceptionally difficult to get to the plug.I greatly appreciated the photos from the other reviewer here; it gave me the starting place to locate the plug. However, to get to the plug required a lot of work. The plastic cover surrounding the seatbelt plug does not just pop-off. You have to disassemble half of the back seat floor pan to get to it!First, remove the driver’s seat pad and the rear left and center seat pads. Set them aside.Second, you have to remove the six 10mm bolts and the two plastic rivets from the rear center floor panel. This center panel will need to be loose, but you won’t have to remove it. (As a note, the plastic rivets unscrew with a flat blade screwdriver. Back them out gently about a quarter of an inch, and then pull out the rivet.)Third, you need to remove the six 10mm bolts and three plastic body rivets from the left rear floor pan. (Two of the rivets are on the top of the panel. The third is on the side.) Now, you’ll have to carefully wrestle the floor pan out of the vehicle. It would be helpful to remove the door, but unless you have a set of tamper-proof screw bits, that ain’t happening. So, wrestling is the only option.Next, you’ll see the hidden 10mm bolt at the base of the seatbelt shroud. Remove it and the three plastic body rivets on the seatbelt shroud. (Yep… there are three. You’ll find them if you look closely.)Now you should be able to wiggle the shroud around enough to get to the seatbelt plug. Disconnecting the plug is also a challenge since you have to depress the hook while pulling it apart. However, it’s no more difficult than most automotive plugs.Plug the bypass plug into the harness, secure everything with a loose zip-tie, and reassemble in reverse order. You’ll need a flat blade screwdriver or plastic body panel tool to help you get the floor pan slid back under the center pan.Though it’s difficult to get to, the plug does its job well. No more annoying light and klaxon.
