Replace whole seat belt front passenger to solve airbag light issue
Hi,
My auto electric diagnostic/mechanic traces issue to passenger front seat belt and suggests that the whole seat belt assembly etc should be replaced. I would have thought this was a bit extreme for what is a electrical connection. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? |

My thoughts are you need a new mechanic. Replacing the seat belt assembly may fix the problem just as morphine will relieve the pain a mild headache brings.

If he thinks its the air bag and not the connection, try disconnecting the air bag and connect a 2.2 ohm resistor (available on ebay) to the under seat connections.

Check the seatbelt mechanism has not fired. If its shorter than normal then it has operated and would need changing.
