Honda S2000 Seat Belt Lock Installation
This product is to be used ONLY on the Honda S2000 and is intended to provide increased driver support when using the stock lap belt and shoulder harness. It is NOT to be used as a replacement for competition belts or at any event where 4 or 5-point restraint systems are required. This product uses an electro-magnet to activate the factory inertia-sensing mechanism built into the seat belt assembly. It does not alter the factory restraint system in any way and has no effect on the seat belt retractors or air bag system. It simply activates the “tilt” mechanism built into the seat belt, the one that normally kicks in only when you corner or brake very hard. Modifry’s Seat Belt Lock is relatively easy to install and can be quickly removed, leaving no trace it was there.
Installation
1. Prepare - Empty the trunk of anything breakable or that might get in the way of sitting in the trunk (really). Remove the spare tire access panel and the spare tire. Then slide and tilt the passenger seat as far forward as it will go. Note – I use the abbreviation “SBL” for the Seat Belt Lock, which is the black bracket with the electro-magnet attached.
2. Remove the access panel behind the passenger seat. Unsnap the screw covers on the two plastic hooks and then remove the screws. Carefully pull the panel out, starting at the bottom and working around the outer edge to release the clips that hold it in place.
3. Locate the accessory power socket wire harness. This wire loom goes under the glove box on the right. Pry apart the plastic (it’s split down the middle) and pull the black and white/red wires out in preparation for attaching the T-taps. If the two wires are not black and white/red STOP, you have the wrong wire loom.
4. Attach T-taps to both the black wire and the white/red wire. Make sure the wire is positioned in the groove of the metal part of the T-tap and close the pliers until the locking tab snaps closed. Here’s a photo using regular pliers (opened up to the wide-jaw position) to clamp the T-taps.
5. Plug in the SBL Control Box Wires as shown below. These are the SINGLE wires, not the “paired” zip cord wires. The SBL single black wire goes to the T-tap on the black wire and the SBL single red wire goes to the T-tap on the white/red wire.
