Beeping when the engine is on (same as the "remove key" beep)

No problems earlier today on the new rebuild, ate dinner, came back out, and it beeps at me when the key is on. It's the same beep pattern as when the key is in the ignition and the door is open, but it happens when the key is fully on, regardless of the door being open or closed. It works properly with the key in the "off" position and the door, though.

Ideas?

*turns red*

Figured it out.

While I was cleaning the car, I reconnected a goofy little connector going to the seat belt. Turns out that the beeping was the "buckle up, idiot!" alarm.

It's disconnected again. (I do buckle up, but I don't want the car beeping at me while I'm working on it or letting it warm up)

Out of curiosity...where exactly is this goofy little connector?

Mine goes off too... despite being buckled up.

If you slide the driver's seat all the way forward, there's a flap on the center console right near the end of the seatbelt stalk. There's a connection that goes from the end of the stalk into the floor area - there's a removable connector. Disconnect it.
