At first I was like just a seat bucket!
Then things started getting real haha.
Good job!
Jason!!!
Woohoo!
Love your style. Much narrative, great shots, and good one handedness.
I hope to see moar :D
Nice video! Replacing a seat belt in a hybrid, tough stuff!
Lol
The background 🎶 music is a big distraction. Otherwise, it's all good. 👍
I wouldn't have thought to disconnect the battery first. What do you think would have happened if you skipped that step?
I don't know that anything would have, but I had heard that if you don't disconnect the battery you could possibly set off the airbag when you disconnect the connections underneath the seat. I thought better to be safe about it. Thanks for the comment.
+Garrick Depending on the vehicle, there is a procedure to disconnect each zone if equipped with SIR and side SIR modules on seats. However, most get luck but the "Yellow" connector had a "Shorting" bar inside the plastic connector. This bar falls across both terminals of the air bag module and prevents static electricity or store voltage from the deployment module from triggering it. Side air bags will have a sensor either inside the "B" pillar, the door, or the seat. It determines the force of impact and sends a signal to the deployment module to determine if deployment should be completed or ignored. But removing SIR fuse(s) or disconnecting the battery, waiting for 20 minutes for the capacitors in the deployment module to discharge is best practices. ASE Master Tech since 1978 / retired.
Spot on & most helpful. Thanks.
Nice camera/camera work. IMHO the battery disconnect is overkill but better safe than sorry I guess.
RKGSD thanks for the comment. I think you might be right on that, but thought it good to do anyway.
Very helpful. Thank you
After disconnecting battery, how long did you proceed with removing seat? Someone said you'll have to wait a couple hours to be safe??
Very nice video. I have to do this for my 08 Prius but for the driver side.
Thanks. Hope it was helpful. Wish you the best with yours!
Great video. Doesn't help my partic. problem, but still learned something new.
Hopefully I get a fast reply I need to change the buckle and I have a guy helping me. The problem is the bolt is too tight. We tried using WD-40 and it still stuck
I'm not really sure how to solve that... maybe try a power socket wrench if you have one. Or just keep trying it and hopefully will loosen. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Best wishes with it.
Where is the best place to get the replacement buckle??
123zalmy I got it used off of eBay. Worked great. The connections are slightly different for drivers side and passengers side, so just make sure you get the right one. I know you can get it through Toyota as well but that is more expensive.
I don't understand why the seat belt needs a cable shouldn't it just have a mechanical function???
The cable connects to the car sensors/electrical system. That would be why the car would flash the passenger seatbelt light when someone is sitting there and the belt is not buckled.
@@jasonwhisman so without it plugged in you will always get the seatbelt light on?
I’m not sure. I’ve never tried it without the cable connected. It might still flash because the weight sensor in the seat would detect if someone is sitting there. You would just have to test it out.
@@jasonwhisman if it shuts off the seatbelt sensor so it doesn't active that would be a cool feature, however I would think it would leave the sensor on always though
Oh shit. Thom Yorke is a DIYer.
Why does seat need to be removed?
You can’t reach the bolt to take off the buckle without taking the seat out. That was my experience. Also the new buckle will have cables that need to be placed properly underneath the seat. Basically I found I couldn’t do the swap out without removing the seat.
What type is the tool you are using?
I was using a socket wrench. It came as a set with different size sockets, so you could use the one that fits.
My buckle will not unlock!!!!
Yeah, that would create a problem. Might still have to take out the seat bolts and then angle the seat so you can get at the buckle and then take it off the seat and take the buckle apart. That is just a thought. I didn't have that problem so not sure exactly what to do in that situation. There might also be another video on CZcams here that addresses that problem.
Kill the music.
Never put music to one of these videos. There will always be people who don't like your selection and they will be distracted and in torment.
Just sayin'.
Shut the music off man it sucks I stopped watching
