[QUOTE="Dogboy, post: 1441706, member: 17845"] To me, it sounds really odd that both seat belt pretensioners would go bad. One, sure, but not both at the same time, unless it was airbag related. Being a 98, I'm sure it has at least a drivers airbag. If it has airbags, then it has an airbag control module (which I would assume is the control module they mentioned), and it may not apply to this truck, but newer cars have an explosive in the seat belt pretensioners that locks the seatbelts when you are in a wreck. When this type deploys, they are done, and have to be replaced (I don't know of any that are savable). These are different than the type that all cars have, which lock when the seat belt gets pulled fast, or you're on an incline, or things like that. Those just return to normal use when the pressure is released. I suppose if something happened to the control module, it could have set off the seat belts, if it is even equips with that style of belt (I have no clue when they came out. That is some some food for thought I guess. [/QUOTE]
