My seat belts were stolen lol help..

guys.. great site and great info..

well this is my very first post but it is sad one
2 nights ago, some one broke my passenger windows and stole my TC's seat belts
i guess he did a pro job since he did not brake anything except window.

now i ordered replacement seat belts from Carson totyota.

but i just noticed Air Bag light is ON in dash..? could it be seat belt related?
is there a sensor? could be resetted by disconnecting battery?

thanks in advance.

.... are you freakin kidding me? Someone stole your seat belts? LMFAOOOOOOO sorry but you have to find that amusing.

Anyway. Yes your seat belts had a sensor. You see that little red flashing seat belt light on your HVAC when someone sits down in the passenger seat and doesn't have their seat belt as you drive around? As soon as they buckle up it goes away. This also turns on/off the passenger air bag. I'm assuming this is why your SRS light is being thrown up.

Apparently this thief has ethics--he only takes what he needs?

Maybe the thief was a cop thinking the moment you drive the car he can pull you over for not having your seat belts on.
