I own a 1996 honda accord lx which has a faulty driver side seat belt. i don't have the money to fix the problem and is quite expensive. this happened 4 or five months ago and is, of course, a serious safety concern. now, as of this date, the srs light has come on which apparently is another safety concern due to the fact that the airbags will not deploy. *tr

1996 honda accord lx. purchased a new cigarette phone charger, plugged it into the lighter which blew the fuse that controls the lighter and radio. replaced fuse and verified power was restored to aforementioned electronics. consequently, additionally noted that the srs light was now also illuminated. took car to mechanic, who diagnosed problem to be a fried srs control unit. in addition was told that this shop has seen many of same era hondas with same problem... there is an issue with the unit not being grounded, allowing other simple fuse failures to back feed the unit and destroy it. honda does not have a recall on there 1996 airbag system; however the 1995 had a problem... the replacement part is an "updated" part with new features to prevent similar failures of re-occurrence. $750.00 for part and labor to install. this is clearly an manufacture defect. *tr
