- 1996 XLT 5.0 2wd
My seat belt (female end) just gave up the ghost on my 96 XLT 5.0 2wd, and won't stay in. The release button's depressed in, so I gather that it's the spring-dealie that's messed up/broken.
Been searching thru the forums here, but still have a few questions.
What are everyone's opinion on this guy's solution to fix his?
When I unplug the seat/air bag sensor, will that set off the air bags themselves, and/or do I need to disconnect the battery first?
I don't have any T-50 torx bits. Do I need to need to buy 1 bit for the top, and bottom, or just the top? In other words is it a bolt AND a nut, or just a bolt?
Are they spot-welded on, or not? I think mine's facing my center console, and I may try not removing anything(console/seat) unless it's spot-welded. I don't want to strip it out.
Right now I've got a dog leash tied to the bottom of the female end with a caribiner attached for a temporary fix. lol
Thanks guys.
