Salim, do you have a part number for the drivers seat belt receptacle you replaced?

I bought it from the dealer based on model and vin#. I would advise you to do the same and remember that the receptacle has to color match with your vehicle ... so vin# is important

But I think this is the part number is
73230-48030A0

Thank you sir. How much might I be expecting to spend?

You are a captive customer. So you got to pay what they ask. It is safety related item, so you have tio have it fixed. Give the dealership parts a call.

I think it was around $50.

Okay thanks. I was asking because I'd like to know what to spend and what not to spend. I followed a DIY to replace the air mixture servos and obtained the part numbers from that thread. I researched the price thru Sewell but looked locally at my hometown stealership. As figured, they tried to rip me off by almost $100 for both parts. I advised them the prices I got from Sewell and they came close enough to satisfy a hometown purchase. Do your homework people, it isn't worth paying more for the same thing. Especially since this is my moms RX, I have an 11 IS.

Good advice.

Did you check Sewell for belt buckle part number and price?

The key is do your homework yourself :D

i started this barbeque sauce thread. last saturday, i used salim's method with perfect success. it saved me lots of time and effort because i did not have to remove the passenger seat. thank you to salim.

I was wondering what happened.

Warm water and compressed air with towels wrapped around to catch the overflow?

Salim

yes; disconnected battery first. perfect solution. thanks again.
