Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

If your seat belt won't retract or if it's slow to retract, this will usually fix it 99% of the time.
So before spending a lot of money to replace your costly seat belt assembly, try this first. Like I said, it works almost 99% of the time for a seat belt that won't retract or is slow to retract.

    This video has saved me $700 at a mechanic shop they told me I had to have the entire seat belt mechanism replaced and I was like no I am not paying that amount it’s too much and I finally decided to fix it on my own by doing my research and this really helped me out a lot it worked! Thank you so much 🤝🏻

    The air bag is a recall item. I received a notice from GM in the mail. I took it to the dealership and had to wait for 2 weeks for it to come in. It was free of charge. The module is around 800 bucks and has to be married to the BCM.

    One tip I've seen on other videos is also to clean/sand a little bit of the plastic on the pillar loop. In your car, it would be where the seatbelt enters the body around your shoulder area. What happens is this part gets seat belt "powder" accumulated over the years, and it also slows down the retraction a lot. This guy explains it better than I did: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eZyV0I-KYcueqJs.html

  • @PurpleDragonProsperity

    But the seatbelt needs to lock for it to save a life from the brand new vehicle. It didn't look like it is locking. The belt might retract back but, if it does not lock what good is it?

    Heh, I thought it was just my make/model of car. Anyway, I hope this helps because they don't make seatbelts for my car anymore. Not to mention OEM seatbelts are expensive and aftermarket ones are much cheaper but they say to use them at your own risk even though they claim they meet federal highway standards but they aren't certified by the government. Just don't get in an accident, right?

    It's called "research" for a reason. Doesn't fit your needs, move on to the next video. I don't believe there's a need to be aggressive towards the creator. Going through the comments, he's helped a lot of people with this. Hope you find the fix that suits your needs and perhaps you could make a video on what fixed yours without going to an expensive mechanic.😏

    Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Taking His name is not the same as saying His name there's no sin committed, but it would be better if the person calling His name did it with reverence. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
