My guy said "easy fix" then pulled out a Grinder LOL!
This seatbelt still works properly just like an old fashioned seatbelt (before pretensioners with lock and hold) and will still save the human occupant in most situations but will no longer provide the tiny extra benefit of a pyrotechnic pretension with its lock and hold function for added safety in rollovers etc.
as soon as I saw the angle grinder come out, I knew this was not the right way.
😂
lol that was funny for some reason
Did you find a way or do I have to get new seat belts
😂😂😂😂
That’s unsafe at all. When you make a quick brake, where is the seatbelt lock to keep you in the seat not throw you out of the car
There are dozens of different designs for seat belt retractors and while some may have devices that "Lock" them after an accident, most don't. The receptacle has a pre-tensioner that uses a 38 caliber blank that is triggered in an accident to pull you back away from the Air Bag. It can't be fixed as steel ball bearings lodge on an internal ramp and lock it into the retracted position. The plastic cover near the anchor point cover a sewn portion of belt material that is machine sewn to tear if the force are too great. It will show a warning label and not to be reused. The inertia ball in the retractor is to lock the retractor and if jammed, maybe released with a sharp wrap on the "B" pillar with a plastic hammer as long as the vehicle is on a level surface. Remember, your's will very, but it is the main defense to keep you from kissing the air bag and eating glass. SDM's (Sensing and diagnostic module) contain a 10 -12 second loop of vehicle activity during deployment. This is called the "Black Box" and may be used against you in court. Using serial data from the vehicles modules, it records, speed, braking, throttle position changes, force of impact, etc. Only certain software can review this info, but some have software to clear a deployment event and re-set the module for re-use. I am on the fence about this. Air Bags do not deploy, just because you where in an accident. The center-line of the vehicle is set and only 15 degrees left or right of this point, with the force of hitting a brick wall at 30 MPH will deploy it. So, if outside this angle, or you and the other reducing speed as braking, reduces the force of impact. Your at 14 MPH and they are at 15 MPH and speed is dropping, BANG! no deployment. Electronic accelerators do not lye. Retired ASE Master Tech of 30+ years.
My 2011 Volvo xc70 wagon. Just locked up its front passenger belt at the B column halfway extended for no apparent reason. It won't go in or out now. Being the passenger side it is rarely used, car has 54K miles. It just did it, no accident no braking just traveling smoothly on the free way. Can this be fixed or does the unit have to be replaced?
I'm not "on the fence about" it at all. These data recorders have no business being on free citizens' cars. They can't be removed, or deleted and can only hurt you legally in court and no one has said that you own your own data that is stored. Most people don't even know these devices are on their car spying on them.
@@arthur1920 Aurthur, I feel your pain as the "Drivers" door hinges wear out first right? Here is a quick and perhaps easy fix. Park your Volvo on a level concrete right way as best you can find. With the passenger's window down, door open and keys in your pocket, move the passengers seat back then recline the seat back as far as it will go. Now the next part is that I assume the seat belt retractor is inside the bottom of the "B" pillar. Even though the belt itself come out of the "B" pillar 2/3rds the way up, thru a metal loop and is probably in a sliding plastic adjuster to raise or lower the top pivot for that passengers comfort. The top part plays no part in your problem. Now here's the fix. Make a fist, go down the pillar, just above the seat bottom, pull the belt out about 1/4" or 1 cm. Hold it still then hit the plastic over the retractor and see it the belt will retract. Repeat if needed.
THE DESIGN; Retractors have a spool & spring to re-wind the belt, but the safety feature is a metal ball that touches a plastic rod. If the ball is centered, it will release the spool and let the belt rewind. Anything off center, will lock the spool. By "Banging" on the entire mechanism, it should dislodge the steel ball (If off center) and it works again. This does not void your warranty, it does not damage the seat belt retractor and the plastic cover will stand some abuse if above 32 degrees F (Plastic cracks easier when cold). There is basically a pendulum on a stick, if you can picture it in your mind. Gravity holds it straight up / down, but anything off center, it will lockup. The same thing will happen if you pull on the belt while driving or a road with pot holes or turning a corner. It won't work until smooth straight driving occurs.
There are no wires, solenoid or electronics that control this feature, simply a mechanical locking feature that actuates a metal cog that stops the spool with tons of locking force. Some place sensors in the seat bottom to determine is a passenger is in the seat, child or watermelon. It keeps the air bag on that side from deploying, deploys at lower rate or deploys at full force. This feature keeps car insurance down as well, because of the obvious, but things under the dash bend as well, so expensive when not needed.
As for the "Black Box", for years in the U.S., only a few companies made these types of products like air bags, like TRW. They receive "Inputs" from the seal belt receptacle, where it locks, brakes, RPM, VSS, steering movement and seat belt locked or not, at least for the driver side. This info is recorded on an electronic chip that repeats. So, every 20 seconds, it records new data coming in as it erases the old. Upon a deployment, the recoding stops and data is saved. This "Sensing & Diagnostic Module" flashes the dash light 7 times while it checks each part of the system. If all is ok, light goes off. The problem is, this covers the manufactures butt to determine driver or manufactures at fault. Once a few of these ending in court, many saw the importance of the information being collected. The cat was out of the bag at this point. Special software use by police, highway patrol, lawyers and others now can retrieve the info, even if the battery has been removed for months or under water. The use an "Electronically Erasable Only Memory" chip that stress the data. It is bolted to the floor in rigid location, under the center console or seat. Frontal air bags only deploy at a 30 degree angle from the center of the vehicle at a force equal to a 30 MPH brick wall hit. Anything outside that, and nothing. Side bags deploy only on the side hit, same with air curtain. You can remove it, throw it away after an accident, hook it up to household voltage until the magic smoke comes out, but not advised nor will I tell anyone to do this. Seat belt is #1, air bag are #2, it keeps you from tasting glass and inside the vehicle instead of landing under it, or surviving only to be run over by the semi behind you. Bad day would you stay?
Today, you should drive with your belt on, position your seat with arms outward for proper distance from the air bag, watch your speed, use common sense, drive defensible, stay off the phone and purchase a good dash camera to record events that you did not cause to allow your CYA in court.
On-Star will detect a crash, locate you can send help, even if you don't answer. My other post was the seat belt receptacle that pulls the belt tighter and you backward away from the steering wheel & air bag. It is an attempt to make the system "Bubba-Proof". No offense to Bubba's anywhere. It's when distracted driver's reach down to the floor to get whatever they dropped while driving 65 MPH, is when bad stuff happens.
This is more than you asked for...but my intentions are for those who benefit on reading post below video's. Hope you can un-stick your belts retractor with a rap of the hand and gentle tug on the belt. This should work. These parts are marked "DO NOT OPEN OR REPAIR". Engineers should know that any tech will open them up at this point. That is a dare.
(Note; After an accident, do not remove the SDM, destroy or tamper with it. It may cause serious bodily harm or death or disable the system. Only qualified technicians should service your "SIR" system before an accident. Doing so, may or will result in a fine, imprisonment or both) Safe driving!!! ASE Master Tech since 1978 / retired
@@deankay4434 the metal ball locking mechanism is a brilliant idea. I bet you blowing it with pressurized air while tugging the seatbelt will help loosen it too.
Hey Dean Kay, I need to ask you something about my car's ECU. How can I contact you? Can u give me your email?
@@chadcervantes6066 I am having serious problems getting access to youtube, not doing anything wrong, just don't own a cell phone. I can't even get access to google youtube account login and I finally got in today, but tried to respond to a post and my post turned into a single page of what looks like a printable PDF file. I have never seen anything like it and don't know what is going on with this mac air using bing. I am sure my email will be deleted. Just a retired auto use ASE master tech who worked on everything with a motor for years before taking the test my dealerships' service manager handed me. I passed all 8 of these 60 question test in one evening and received my letter in the mail with my ASE Master Tech patches for my uniform when the building said "DATSUN" on the front of the building. my email can be dean, kay. 58 at the hot mail dot com type ending. Do not use , or periods and at as a symbol with a standard com. I may not know your info so put something in the subject line and tell me the year, make and model. Also anything work you or a shop has done or what happened but I only have accurate info for gm 97-04
You might not fly out the window or hit the airbag in an accident if, the seatbelt in the video still has some sort of tensioner that he didn’t remove. Hopefully, he just got rid of the stronger mechanism with gunpowder for bigger accidents, but the mechanism that locks the belt when you brake hard is still there.
You are welcome at my table anytime bro. Thank you
Its the cartel mechanic..😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂💀💀💀
Home breaker
Fast and Easy! Lol
You destroy it!!!! :O
I thank you for your advise :)
If you value your life, Do NOT follow this video! This guy is just rendering the seatbelt useless in a crash!
I found an easier and just as safe fix. I cut out the whole seat belt strap with a box knife.
Bro this aint no easy fix 😂
It's easy, not simple
@@GabrielGarcia-300 more like simple not easy
I’m saying. You need a whole shop to do this.
And he risk cutting his body up with one slip 🤦🏾♀️
Not even safe 😂
I strongly believe u can open that up without having to cut it
Thank you very much for your lovely video, it helped me a lot. In my 2008 Ford fiesta Zetec S, I did the same, but I didn't remove the ball. But the belt is working perfectly. My mechanic could not erase the airbag symbol in the dashboard. Please give me your view. Shall I try to remove the ball? Will my problem be over then? Thank you.
my latch where belt goes in is locked as if the belt is already in there. so i cant even put the belt in to lock IT. u got THAT video laying around
El problema es que ya queda violentado y sin efecto el cinturón solo sirve de adorno
sabes otra manera de arreglarlo? tengo el mismo problema
Jerry Santos pmpra uno usado q sirva
Thanks Shady Steve.....next video please.....cause this ain't looking to proper sir
what about the other part of seat belt the bottom one still connect with car because i did same you did but the seat belt light of in the dashboard
gracias
He had cut and removed few parts to make it work . I hope it will lock on time to save lives. Looks like a garage and customer wont know what he actually did to make it unlocked lol cause he will be happy tbat its working again and drive away with it.
Will it work on a 2011 Chevy Silverado mine are locked after accident
Tried fixing mine but eventually broken the switch wire and received KEY SYSTEM FAULT on the dashboard, any idea on how to fix this?
I need this video but for 2015 buick regal
What can I do got the airbag light that come on because where the sensor goes is nit there anymore
Wtf did I just watch lol
After this kind of repair seat belt will not work. This guy is remove the whole mechanism to lock the seat belt in the event of accident. Don't get your seat belt fix like this. You need to replace the whole seat belt when your car pass through the accident and seat belt get locked. tt should lock while pulling the seat belt with rush, repaired like this will never get locked
Great video but OSHA must be steaming.................................... lol hey it works......... just don't get into a roll over crash...........

The seat belt is to holding you up tight and lock you to prevent you moving and hit somewhere, the ball is lock it up, the metal peace is lock the belt when the car involve in impact the air bag system engage , after remove those thing the belt is free and it is danger cuz the belt not holding you tight. never modify air bag and abs system, its there for a reason.
in future , is this safety ?? when i have accident again . does it close again ???
thank you
Excelente video me salvaste😅
Notice something? Or two? First, he is wearing a ski mask to hide his face. Second, he is not talking. He is fully aware that this is illegal as hell. No way in hell would I ever do that to my vehicle. I hope he gets caught and charged if a customer of his is severely injured. What a piece of crap.
Will seat belt still lock in an impact since u removed that little part
you removed the white cover and took out the ball bearing that stops /saves you this is very dangerous with out the ball bearing the air bag is not as important as the ball bearing that goes under the white cover pleas put that part back in and when you pull the belt hard it will move and stop the belt the only reason the belt was stuck is because the air cylinder had torn off
What about warning light of air bags
I need help with a Toyota tundra limited 2002 stuck belts
Does this work on any vehicle?
For the amount of time you spent doing this you could have went to pull a part removed a used one for five bucks and replaced it
More like 20..x the amount of seatbelt... If you didn't have that money, this is still the better option. If your seatbelt locked up, you probably have more things to fix and will cost you. I'm doing this with my Durango. Had to replace water pump, fan/clutch, radiator, upper/lower mounts, hood, steering wheel, and headlights.
They could also be locked up!
Very on safe
The only good thing is that in an accident the driver won’t have to write down front car’s license plate.. they’ll be right on it, when they go flying out the windshield !!!
sergio venegas didn’t mean to laugh but this was funny
🤣
Can I see you drive this car at 35 mph to a curb to make sure your work is true and tested?
cool!
Um 😶 I like tips and tricks for auto repair. But when it’s your safety or those of your loved ones. I can’t do this ....
So will the seatbelt still work? i got a feeling this seatbelt is just for looks now
All the best mechanics where dirty feet sandals when working on cars.
Seatbelts are like brakes, if you don't know what your doing, DON'T MESS WITH IT!!!
*you're
This is retarted. So the seat belts lock to keep you from hitting the air bag? So they made them like this to prevent you from flying into the air bag and dying.
@@Sky_god1 I agree with your assessment of this video and the retractor being butchered. Never Do This...it is now a thing the seal belt spools onto but not a safety device. I believe the windshield does not taste good, or the hood ornate, then the tree bark...then you wake up and find your toe is in your mouth. Ouch! P.S. "Retarded" is a nicest word you can use here.
Start the car and stretch the drivers seat belt over to passenger seat and click in the drivers side into the passenger side POOF it will release. :)
That is if it is a normal jam.. this kind of jam need to change it seems as the seat belts can't come out already
Will the SRS light continues to stay on after this? because this look like a by pass...
@Jonathan GodinezOn top of replacing seat belts, you will need to clear the crash info on the srs module to get rid of the airbag light.
Do a 2010 nissan maxima
The easiest thing to do ever and anyone can do it. Dont over think it like its a huge deal brothers and sisters
Front impact! Hello Sterling wheel and windshield
WAIT!!!! HOLD ON !!!!!
I LOST MY 10mm docket years ago. I actually think my set of ratchets came with the 10mm socket missing from the factory. Please help. Is there a 9.99999mm socket that I can buy for a replacement of the 10mm socket?
This video should be labeled, “how to make your seat belts do nothing in a crash” with the description below saying “and be liable for any injury or death caused by the seat belts in the future”
if I do this and reset my srs module will I still have a airbag light?
It needs to be recalibrated.
+Simple Living I do not know every vehicles system like the one shown in the video, but it needs to be recalibrated? While the seat belt retractor is not a component of the SIR system, but adds to as the first line of defense of severe deceleration, I see the "Yellow" cable that is DOT standard for "SIR" system I.D. The mechanism shown, appears to be a flat or lateral gear drive system to retract the seat belt backwards only a few inches at best. The video does not make clear if the vehicle was involved in a deployment, if yes, then system components need replaced and others, like the sensing and diagnostic system module can be un-locked and will work, but normally get replaced. Normally, some items can and need recalibrated if replaced for example; vehicle with dual frontal air bags have bladders in the passengers seat cushion that detect the weight of the occupant in that seat. Too little weight = no deployment. medium weight = single deployment or high fast deployment of both dis-charge devices in the air bag if the "G" forces are too high. The owner and the insurance company does not want to pay for both air bags if one person is driving only. So, this nitrogen filled bladder hooked to pressure sensor, like a MAP sensor, needs to be set to zero and other weights like the standard 40 lb. weight, to communicate with the SDM control module would have to be recalibrated. Not only did I work on these for years, but taught the subject in a two day class for GM. The early Cadillacs with a side deployment module and sensor mount in the doors scare me. These worked fine until a policeman or locksmith used a "Slim-Jim" to pop open a locked door as this was documented to deploy the air bag. I think 1987 & 88 where the only two years of this system. Just asking. No harm. ASE Master Tech since 78 / retired.
"Fixed"
Good job! But the Air bag resistor sensor inside that seat belt is blown, so after doing this the airbag light will remain on Dashboard.
Can you not just plug a reader into the obd 2 port and clear the code?
@@dc1564 no, you cannot delete it, it's a permanent code, the only way you can delete that airbag code, is if you connect a separate resistor to the seatbelt harness wire.
Wearing sandals and a ski mask 😊

Can it work the same that was before?
You dont need to remove the ball.. Its sti working
where are you located need this done
Ms. C lol
Never do this, he took safety components
Lol don’t even try. Have a professional repair your seat belt
Miami
The dude from "Delocacted" is fixing cars now??
I like your video
How r u
He didn’t fix anything , he merely dismantled the safety ratchet , rendering it useless. Might as well tie an apron sash over your shoulder . It would have about the same safety level in a crash.
No he didn't, it will still function as an older model seatbelts b4 the pre tensioner was added
@@adrianramsey2934 i don't recall a shoulder harness that did not have a tension ratchet? I remember seat belts that went across the lap that didn't ratchet , but not the shoulder. I could be wrong.
@@quinbagwell7515 I'm not talking about that far back
😂😂😂😂😂😂 an apron is crazy
Are you advocating seatbelts? Take a hint buddy.
I bought an accident repaired mustang and the belts always give me a hard time.
It will need to be repaired and recalibrated.
Check safetyrestore.com. I sent mine in to fix and it cleared SRS code.
So after this will the seat belt lock when you break? Or it's just going to keep extending the belt?
Marta Escobar It will work as before same like original 😊
What car is that?
El chapo doesn't have enough money to buy a vise
Is that safe?
fucking brilliant bro I'll save you some time just leave the seatbelt off. stick to smuggling coke big dawg!
What part was the easy fix ??!??
Lol are you wearing a balaclava? Yeah that's not suspicious or anything 🙄
Hahahaa was thinking the same.
Why not just go and order a new seatbelt take old 1 off put new 1 on.... literally safer and easier than getting a grinder and pulling apart the seatbelt etc....
Is he wearing a ski mask? WTF 😂
Gosh your gorgeous

Homie robbed the ball out of the seat belt
Why dude wearing a ski mask and sandals in a “shop”
Where are You located ? I need You to do mine !!!
Mine too🤦🏾♂️ I can’t even move it
Bruh said easy fix and brought out the power saw lmao
Le estas quitando el control por gravedad
Your name plese
If you removed the ball from the seat belt assembly, you're dead in the next collision for sure
That’s why this dudes wearing a mask
Easy fix 😂😂😂
Easy fix hah
easy fix !?!? :-D
