Wanted to take off the seat belt just to clean em but after watching the who process, I ended up deciding to chuck the whole car in the dishwasher 🥺🤷‍♂️

[@MyAirbags]

Rafeed, thats very funny! If you change your mind, we can also completely change the webbing color to a custom color that will give you that new clean look. We have many colors available. Here are two example videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqfLp3yAZbuiorc kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5TKZGOmeJKHfsU

Yes, true

@@MyAirbags one question, my airbag light is now on, do you know why?

[@MyAirbags]

@@daryllp6270 when airbag light comes on, it could be for many reasons, similar to when engine light comes on. It is best to have it scanned, meaning connecting a diagnostic scanner and pulling codes to see what it is. It could be that one on the systems components failed or just a bad connection somewhere. There is no telling, just need to have it scanned. I hope this helps.

@@MyAirbags It just went on after replacing the bad seatbelt for another one. Very sad

[@MyAirbags]

@@daryllp6270 in that case all could be okay and it just needs a diagnostic scan tool to just clear the fault. But first check make sure the harness plug connection to the seat belt is good and tight.

[@MyAirbags]

For proper repair, OEM parts need to be used. See this video to know if the seat belt was repaired correctly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baTOdId9q8SahK8

can you feed the seatbelt through the trim panel or do we have to ship that as well?

Dont send the trim panels, you can leave them in your vehicle with the bolts. Here is a video on how to remove side trim panels: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZbUqoSMppanms0

[@Katy-Did]

Do you have to disconnect the battery before you undo the airbag clip on the seat belt? I have to replace the seat belt height adjuster on the passenger side of my 2014 Sequoia. I bought an OEM part and found you on you tube. I am not sure if I need to even mess with the air bag plug. I think I just need to pop off the panels and unbolt the seat belt and fed it into the new seat belt height adjustor. I think...any advice?

[@MyAirbags]

If you are not replacing the seat belt, then you should be able to just change the height adjuster. But will be easier if you disconnect the electric plug. Yes, disconnect the battery if you are going to disconnect the plug.

[@gordonsweep]

that yellow pin that you disconnected it, is it for the airbag ??? and if it is did you disconnect the battery before ??? or can it be done without disconnecting the battery ???please and thank you

[@MyAirbags]

Yes first always disconnect battery when working on SRS Airbag system (airbags, seat belts, sensors). The connecter that was unplugged was for seat belt pretensioner. The airbag connector is very similar. For more information see forum.myairbags.com

[@MyAirbags]

It can be a little tricky sometimes to put it back. Everything needs to lign up and make sure the belt and other small trim pieces are not in the way. We can make a video on this.

[@jideolanipekun2724]

Hi mate. Do I have to disconnect the main battery only or also the battery in the boot? Also do I have to disconnect the airbag or will disconnecting the battery be enough?

[@MyAirbags]

Disconnect your battery. If your vehicle has multiple batteries then need to disconnect them. After you disconnect the battery(s) then wait at least 3 minutes before removing air bag computer control module. If the driver air bag is good then there is no reason to disconnect air bag. We can reset your air bag control module if your vehicle was in an accident. We also rebuild seat belt pretensioners. See more info at myairbags.com

On most cars, all you will need is medium - large size flat bar and a socket wrench set. We have more detailed and step by step videos on seat belt removal.

I am having weird noises from the seat belt height part 88890A from a Hyundai Tucson…do you know what can i do?…when the road is bad that part on each front doors make noises.

[@MyAirbags]

Probably just needs WD40? Because there is only a bolt that holds the belt. For the height adjuster, it's just plastic and a few springs.

I took the rear seat out of my 2019 Toyota Hiace Crew (without disconnecting the battery). I have a dash warning "airbag system malfunction". Is there a way to "dongle" or short the seat belt sensor harness (only to the rear seat). I believe I have to get toyota to clear the codes of the malfunction. I want the seat permanently out or at least the option to have it out for camping AND have my front airbags working.

[@MyAirbags]

Yes you would need to clear the code with a diagnostic scanner after you put the seat back. If you are not planning to put the seat back and still want the airbag light to turn off then you will need to use a 2 OHM resistor. Place the resistor in the harness plug that plugged into to seat belt. This would give a 2 OHM resistance to the SRS system and it would think that the seat belt is there. Do this at your own risk.

[@timpye6162]

@@MyAirbags 2ohms good to know that, thanks. The plug I disconnected has 8 pins. So I gues 6 of those are 2 each for each of the seat belts. THe other 2, what could they be..active (12V)and neutral perhaps? What do you reckon. But, it's not just knowing if the seat belt is connected. Because the seat belt warning does not sound if no one is sitting in the seat. So it must sense, first the seat is occupied, second the seat belt is not secured.

[@MyAirbags]

@@timpye6162 Look at the two wires that connect to the seat belt. Then you can trace those color wires to the plug.

[@timpye6162]

@@MyAirbags Its a risky business for sure, I trace the wire colours from the seat belt to the plug and maybe get a circuit diagram from a toyota mechanic, before attempting the 2ohm short

Tim, 8 pins plug is for something else. The pretensioners only have 2 pin plugs.

[@timpye6162]

@@MyAirbags Yes, that's right. The loom for all three seats (it's a bench style) comes from one 8pin connector coming out of the floor. So the other pins are for seat belts warning (on or off) and the airbags. I'm guessing there must be an airbag trigger on one or two of those 8pins..so treading carefully.

[@arthur1920]

?repair? I didn't see a repair, only removal. And no vid of reinstall.

[@MyAirbags]

Arthur, Thank you for your question! After an accident, the seat belts deploy and lock up. Unlocking the belt is one problem, but not the main problem. You want to repair your belt so it works again if there is another accident. There is an explosive charge inside that needs to be completely replaced. This is something that you need a professional company to handle who has all the correct explosive licenses. You can buy a brand new belt, but if you want to save and repair/rebuild the belt, then you should use a good reputable company with the licenses to do so. The belt has to function again in another accident event. With seat belts, you want to save BUT also make sure the job is done right 100%. This is why body shops, collision shops and salvage rebuilders from all over use myairbags.com. Repair is just 24 hours and prices are very good compared to new expensive dealership prices. Also - You have a good idea for us! We will start working on a video on how to re-install the seat belt. What car are you working on right now?

[@habsfan7944]

What is the name of the plastic outer covering you popped off to get at the belt? Mine is cracked and needs to be replaced.

[@mrfunkington]

While the car in the video has a simple single bolt afixing the belt to the seat, my Mercedes does not and has a mechanism with cables and a cylinder.

[@MyAirbags]

Yes, some vehicles have different setups. We are creating more videos for different types of vehicles.
