These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

An OBC check found that my drivers side seat belt buckle is defective and causing my air bag warning light to be on. Can I change the seat belt buckle Assy on the drivers side ( including unplugging the electrical connector) without removing the seat from the car. ??????

POST 2Original post

I seriously doubt it, the wiring is bundled up under the seat and you won't be able to get to the connectors without taking the seat out. The good news - taking the seat out is very easy, 4 bolts, and then unclip one connector. If you put the top down first you will have plenty of room to work. Oddly I can't find a DIY for seat removal but I know there are several on here, I just can't find them...
