post accident seatbelt tensioner fix
 
I recently bought a salvage FR-S as a project car--it had a front impact with airbag deployment on the driver steering wheel. It is coming along pretty well but I am getting into seatbelt and airbag replacement issues which I do not know much about. I will likely not repair the airbag on the steering wheel because I want to put on a momo wheel. However, I need to get the seat belts working--I want to release the tensioners and replace them if necessary. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Do I need to replace the srs control unit?

You need to replace the seatbelts in total - they are designed to stretch in the case of a major impact (ie setting off the bags), they are absolutely NOT reusable.

Tensioners need to be replaced and many times the actual airbag control module needs to be replaced. Also check the clock spring. Sometimes they burn up

Ok thanks, I will purchase new seat belts. Also, I found an airbag control service that repairs the unit. Does anyone know the location of the unit?
