@@CityNightsBLVD oh got it . Ive been riding with the passenger seatbelt not retracting since may of last year lol just last week i bought the whole new seatbelt assemblyy so ihope they dont charge ode to install it
I'm dealing with the same shit. I feel like I fixed everything but my airbag light is still on. What a waste to total a car just bc an airbag went off. Honda dealer wanted $1200 for the airbag, but I found a garage that sold it to me for $150.... Any advice on airbag?
I'm not sure if you know this, but the reason seatbelts lock up like this is, inside of that seatbelt mechanism there is something called a pretensioner, very similar to the tensioner that you were messing with. The pretensioner is a one use device (like an airbag) that pulls the seatbelt TIGHT against your body once the cars computer system detects an accident. Sometimes the airbags go off with the pretensioner if the crash is bad enough, if the computer thinks the seatbelt is all that's needed, it will only fire the pretensioner. Remember, this is not what you feel when you brake hard, that is the tensioner. Once this pretensioner goes off, you will not be able to retract your seatbelt so whoever is repairing the car knows they need to replace the seat belt assembly. If you still have the car, go to the junkyard and get a belt out of a car that isn't damaged, because even though your tensioner still works, your pretensioner has already been used up. You never know when you'll need that pretensioner. It is designed to keep the forces down on your body in severe collisions by pulling you as tight as it can into the seat before the real forces from the crash kick in (that's why it's called a pretensioner), the regular tensioner doesn't react until the forces are strong enough to lock it up which is sometimes too late for the human body. I hope you end up replacing the whole assembly 😊😊 This is a video on how pretensioners work (all modern cars have them, not just Toyota who makes the video): ua-cam.com/video/0jqOOFs9-7o/v-deo.html
I had to scroll too far down to find your comment. When I saw the yellow electrical connectors I knew it was part of the supplemental restraint system.
This comment is 1000% correct. ******* ^^^^^ EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS GUYS COMMENT !!! ^^^^^ ******* and thank you for posting it in a friendly and helpful manor and thank you to the original poster as well for the great video! If you see those bright yellow connectors anywhere they relate to the airbag system.
@@CupOfBroseph yeah Might as well try to fix it first because you get to the point where you’re already taking you to court at least try to get it done for free
Bro thanx for making this video, everybody else that covered the retractor for the 06 civic said you had to break out a grinder to bypass the locking mechanism. This is so much easier and makes alot more sense
was just quoted over $700 from the dealer to have my belt replaced. even if i cant fix it myself, I now know how to take it off and can send it in to a company for $50 and have it fixed. thank you so much for the vid!!
Hey after removing the side panel you should try rolling the seat belt rotary backwards with your fingers or a flat head before removing those bolts . If it still don't retract then you could take of the seatbelts device . Just one extra step that could save you time ,thanks .
@@PoZoLe7113 yeah the same process and the same piece for the retractor. I went to a pick n pull. Just go and pill both sides if you can just in case though
Thanks bro you save a lot of money I don't know shit about cars but I borrow the tools and did it myself and it works perfectly on a 2013 Nissan. Altima
Thanks for the video. That green disk is harder to remove on my 2011 honda element. Though I did notice that small spring fly out once you removed the salmon colored wedgei.. lol. Don't lose it.
My (No accident History ever) Honda E 2004 seatbelt had been acting up for some time and would not spool out unless you played with it, and did small moves in-and-out (haha). But then it locked up! Went through several videos, but yours went straight to the point, easy to follow and fixed it like a charm. The olny bummer was when you were shooting putting it back together and your camera was out of focus, but I worked with it and ALL OK! Thanks much!
so at 1:55 a spring flys out and lands in your carpet. You never mention this spring or show installing it. I have to question your process for safety now.
any seatbelt that has done its job in an accident MUST be replaced because you have stretched the belt so it now no longer works as intended. a seatbelt is a single accident use item.
My 04 Avalon was in an accident yesterday morning. Nothing major but my seatbelts locked up. We tried this process but it didn't work for us. Great video nonetheless however
My 2012 civic was involved in a small accident and the seat belt deployed and locked also lighting up the airbag light on the dash. To fix this issue 2 necessary steps are needed, 1st either replace your seatbelt with a good working one or send it to safety restraints company that rebuilds them they have to be charged with gas so that they can deploy the next time you're involved in an accident , step 2 you have to reach to your SRS module which is buried below the dash infront of the transmission lever onto the lower body panel and send it along with the seatbelt to the safety restraints they are the ones who can clear the crash data from the module then once this is done the airbag light will turn off, this is the correct way to do it. Nice video content but I also noticed your driver seat airbag is deployed what did u do about this ? This also has to be replaced for maximum safety alotherwise your airbag light will stay ON.
Seat belt didn't retract back once i unlocked it. Do i have to plug everything back in the car and turn the car on so it can work i have a 2018 Acura RLX sport hybrid?? Please help me. Thank you
Nice video, but a lot of work / steps. 🧐🤣 Also, I’m a moron who hit someone yesterday during a terrestrial rain storm. I am but with a severely bruised chest and thankfully she’s fine.
WORD TO THE WISE: On some vehicles, removing the wiring to a seat belt with the battery still connected WILL RESULT IN ALL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. How do I know this? A technician in the shop I was working in forgot to and the dealership wound up spending about $8,000 to replace the customers airbags and associated trim.
About to try this out myself for my 2011 Infiniti I got into a accident but I got told it’s expensive for this type of fix I will definitely comment back if it worked on mines
Mine is a 09 Civic coupe, seem a little different, it has some loose metal balls inside rolling around. I opened every screws all the way, only manage to make belt held longer out, but it won't retract. btw, I remove all 4 metal balls and threw it away.
I have a 2002 Buick Park Avenue where the front driver side seat belt is in the seat next to the head rest. I can't pull the seat belt out. Is this repairable? The car has not been in an accident. Is there a video on an 2002 Park Avenue on seat belt repair? Your video was helpful.
Will i have to do this procedure? Someone run into me deployed airbag now seatbelts r locked and i can't fasten up don't wanna get fine for no seatbelts on any ideas or will this procedure work?
Wow these cars are death traps you get into an accident, then the belt locks up trapping you in the car, best case scenario just makes it harder for emt's worst case you get turned into a pot roast.
HI you make it very easy to fix the seat belt i am looking for someone to fix my belt it is lock can you recomend some one to help me with my seat belt i alive in brooklyn

same here
Repair shops are gonna be so mad. Nice work. Can't afford a repair job. Gonna do this when I get off work

i missed it, how do you get the shiny part adjusted before the green piece comes off, after the pinsare hammered out
bruh i thought it was Aziz Ansari narrating lol, good vid

That seat belt will work without pretensioner explosion?

Do you know if this same procedure can be applied for a 2014 elentra GT? Great video BTW!!!
My son popped the spring out behind the seafoam green disc n can’t find. Do u know size?
Did you have to reset the airbag light? or did it go away by itself?
Did you ever find the answer to this? I havethe same issue
Very helpful…Finally i can use my seatbelt again.. thanks
so at 1:55 a spring flys out and lands in your carpet. You never mention this spring or show installing it. I have to question your process for safety now.
