    Hi Guys,


    I live in Panama and I have a 2016 Challenger RT which is my first MOPAR. Sadly It was rear ended, but damage was not that bad and all the body components have been replaced or fixed and the car is running in perfect condition.


    The issue that I have is that due to the rear hit, both front seat belts retractors got stucked and since I was already thinking on getting red hellcat front seatbelts I went ahead and bought them and installed them, these hellcat seatbelts where from a stripped car so they are working perfectly, however the airbag light is still on.


    So I have a couple of questions and would appreciate all the help I can get from your experiences.


    1. What should I do to have the light reset and how can I be sure that the front airbags are working?


    2. Would a scanner reset the light? Or do I have to take it to the dealer? Please bear in mind that in Panama there is only ONE dodge dealer and they over charge on everything they do.


    3. Is there anything else I should try to get the airbag light reset? I saw some videos about the connectors under the seats giving some problems and I was going to try that tomorrow.

    Thanks
