    Hello,

    Went to dealer, they say the light is on due to faulty seat belt receptacle and quoted $450 for below:

    SRS - Seatbelt: REPLACE PASSENGER SEATBELT RECEPTACLE AND PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION WITH SENSITIVITY CHECK

    From what I’ve read, the calibration is required, is this something the non dealership I normally go to can deal with or does it need to be the dealership? Assuming I probably can’t do it myself

    We call them stealerships because they're going to rob you $450 for a part you can get at your local auto wrecker for $25 and then odds are when it doesn't fix they're going to find the most common cause, which is damage to the wires under the seat that you can easily repair with some wire crimps, but they'll add another $700 to your bill to "replace wiring harness" because they aren't allowed to patch, only replace with new.
