Front Safety Belt Buckle

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery. For vehicles with heated seats, disconnect both heated seat pad cables beneath the seat assembly. Disconnect the seat belt warning buzzer and lamp warning switch wire (driver's seat only).






2. Remove the five bolts securing the front seat to the floor pan.






3. Detach the belt buckle assembly by removing the two torx bolts.

INSTALLATION
1. Attach the seat belt buckle assembly to the seat bracket using the torx head screws. Tighten to 24 to 28 Nm (18 to 22 ft lbs).

NOTE: There are three holes in the seat bracket on the seat sub-frame. The two rearward holes have "welded-on" nuts. Be sure you use these two holes when you install the seat belt buckle assembly and not the one without a weld nut.

2. Install the seat in the vehicle and reconnect the driver's seat warning switch wire, wire harness of the heated seat, if applicable, and battery cable. Tighten seat attachment bolts to 24 to 28 Nm (18 to 22 ft lbs).
