Dude, I appreciate you posting this because I just had a collision and was wondering what was involved in repairing mine. Now that I see it, I think I will buy some ;)
this is great !!! i did a 2010 silverado seat belt and was the same seat belt style, as the one you had work on, THANK YOU for your time !!! you got your self a follower !!
Thanks, it works! When the seat belt is removed from the roller mechanism, you can tighten the spring further. when the roll has turned a number of times, there is more tension on it and you can reattach the belt.
i very much appreciate the time to do the video, small suggestion for next time, clear the work bench and put a clean piece of card down, then everything is much clearer, a clean workspace is essential and then if anything drops out it is easy to locate. best wishes from UK
I too have the same seat belt. Tried to make it workable after a slight crash. But it is not so easy to drill and cut the screw head of SS with a drilling machine. So after trying with HSS and other bits, my mission repair failed ! Any other solution to drill out that head?
I have a 2015 malibu. Removed the ball bearings that blew and the gears that locked it up. It still does not retract all the way(gets locked up). Looks to be these 2 half moon gears that go on that same side of igniter end but under the plate . Are you familiar with these half moon gears. They look like they are suppose to open to a certain point before it would lock. Any help. ???Thanks
Phillip gomez when I first did the procedure the seat belt did not retract (had some trubble figuring out what was up) but what i did is i put the seat belt module back into the car ( the car has the belt at an angle when put back into its slot ) witch in some cars its just a steel ball that when perfectly balanced releases the belt) other cars have different systems in place. Id try that
Sam mik yes, your right. Noticed on some videos it had to be at 90°. I put it at a 90° and can see the end (ball valve/plastic gears) unlock (free)like it should and when not at a 90 it will lock like it should. Problem is the other end of gear shaft has those half moons that lock up when it's still at 90° and the ball valve end is free. I am going to just put in the car to try and see if it changes anything.
cool video on taking something apart, but you are removing the safety feature of the belt locking up when a crash occurs. The next time you get into a crash this feature will not lock the belt and the webbing could keep pulling out till it runs out. The webbing does stop when the ball bearing rocks on angles in the retractor causing it to momentarily lock up, but is not a permanent fix.
Hi i managed to get the seatbelt unlocked, but now the seatbelt retracts very slow, do you have any advise on how i can get my seatbelt to retract faster?
Francisco J. E. Diaz i believe there the same since Mercedes use the same systems for most of their cars. I bout a 20 x 2.2 ohm and hooked them up worked like a charm took my lights off the dash
@@sammik6676 thanks! Your video has helped me alot getting my c300 back to being road ready. I'm sorry if this sounds dumb but that ohm resistor is located within that yellow connector? I must open it up and replace resistor if I understand correctly? ( Inside of cable you end up cutting off in video) what also any cheap scan tool that you would recommend to reset computer?
Vigarin Garcia not all seatbelts are the same. I believe there are 2 different kinds of mechanisms by which seatbelts work by. the simple mechanical ones ( standard cars) and the more complex sensory ones ( newer and more luxury and high end cars like Mercedes, lexus and so on) (the one i did in this video is the sensory one). the mechanical seat belts work almost the same way as these. the main difference is 1. the mechanical seatbelts don't always have a sensor to it. 2. instead of having little gears in the seat belt that lock up in an accident, they have little steal balls. that once triggered in a collision the balls are released from there holding chambers, the steal balls are shot and lock up the seat belt. now to fix the mechanical version seatbelts. its the same proses as seen in the video except instead of those little gears locking up the seat belt it will be steal balls. just remove them. and you will be all good 😀
UHHHHHHHH...... Airbag light. this is not the correct way to fix your seatbelts. This way removes the BLOWN SQUIB in the seatbelt...Making your seatbelt a basic NON-SRS type seatbelt. the Yellow connector isn't a "resistor" its a connector. the SQUIB or explosive device in the seatbelt retractor has a resistance that the airbag module reads. Usually in the range of 2.2 to 2.5 Ohms. You would need to re-connect that connector to the CAR SIDE, and add a resistor of 2.2 to 2.5 ohms. then clear the srs light. BUT... This only works on GM 2010 and up, Mercedes 3 crash events allowed, BMW three crash events allowed, New DODGE after 2014.. most other makes, and ALL Japanese, Korean cars will have to have the airbag module reset or replaced and programmed.

Thanks!!! Had a collision. Seatbelts stuck. Tried to repair using the video and it absolutely works!!!

I owe you a beer! Thanks for posting this. Could never have figured it out on my own.
Cool. I'm working on a 2000 VW 1.8 T Jetta up in Alaska. This gives me a needed lesson before I get too heavy handed on my own.
Thanks, it works! When the seat belt is removed from the roller mechanism, you can tighten the spring further. when the roll has turned a number of times, there is more tension on it and you can reattach the belt.
This is very good!! I fixed a VW polo 2010 seatbelt worked like a charm!
But does the seat belt jock up when you hit the brakes
Hat off to you...Just fixed both rear seat belts. This is too good ... and it's true .,

Soooo helpful, thanks!!
Post more videos! you are like my hero!
Hey great video - I have the same seat belt and was wondering on the resistor. I heard 3.3 but will it be 1watt? 1/2w?
I too have the same seat belt. Tried to make it workable after a slight crash. But it is not so easy to drill and cut the screw head of SS with a drilling machine. So after trying with HSS and other bits, my mission repair failed ! Any other solution to drill out that head?
does the seatbelt usually come with the load limiter?
Muito obrigado...Brasil
Thanks bro
Will this work on a nissan sentra?
That fix also the SRS error ? thanks !
How would I do this to a 2004 Mercedes Benz col 500 driver side seat belt ??
Does this remove the seatbelt error on the odometer?
he is good😍😍😍
super👍

Hi i managed to get the seatbelt unlocked, but now the seatbelt retracts very slow, do you have any advise on how i can get my seatbelt to retract faster?
Richard Rigava it means your spring is loose and your might have to coil it up again. Or if it's really loose you might have to get a new one
going to try this on my 2015 dart front seat belts are locked
This video is meant to educate the viewer use this information at your own risk thank you -
Can you show how you added the resistors
what is the ohms resistance on a 2008 c300 is it the same as this?? please any info would be appreciated.

It's belt same as w212, add to description, please
wow
Ok what about SRS light ? Is it on or after repair its gone?
pavel zolov you need to buy resistors. id find out what resistor capacity you need then hook them up to the seat belt sensor to make the light go away
@@sammik6676 what resistor you use for that Mercedes? I have same car. Only rear belts
@@DJEvoIX just a regular 3.3omh resistor on Ebay.
What about the gear? Is it not needed?
jushah1 no the gear would be uselss after the seatbelts lock up

One question every seat belt are similar?

Vigarin Garcia ill try to make a video in the future of how to fix a mechanical seatbelt.
what is the exact name of this type of seat belt tractors ?
Wouldn't it be best to just buy a new one
I guess you own this car?

This is way too much, i think ill just buy one for a f250 2012
