wow $329? Thats more than a seatbelt from VW! cheap side of things you can just get a seat belt at AutoZone for like $25. ScottyKelmer (another YouTube Mechanic) explains this in a video he did a few years back.
EDIT: Personally, I wouldn’t even worry about it the Airbags themselves should still function normally however due note that once airbags deploy it’s an automatic total from insurance companies if you have full coverage. The Airbags alone for replacements are probably worth more than the car is assuming you buy them from the dealer.

if the ignition is coming out of the column than that sounds like broken mounts to me. I once had a problem with a ’86 Mercury Sedan. The key was STUCK in the ignition and would not come out had to take the ignition out of the car to get the key out. You most likely can easily access the ignition by just removing the panels around the column and have a look you might be able to do a simple fix of zip ting the ignition in. Without looking at the car i couldn’t tell you for sure how to do it. Seems you may need a new ignition. I have had simular problems to this however in my case it seems in my case the batteries always died never found out why i just charged up the battery and it worked fine after that.

[quote=”ShopTech” post=117907]You need to replace the alternator. Voltage regulators are internal.[/quote]
you can’t just open a alternator and replace the regulator?

I have been there too. However, for me it was fixing friends’ computers.
Example: i was once asked to fix a Acer Aspire One A150 netbook PC for a friend i’ve had since grade school. The work involved replacing the Hard Drive, Trackpad cable, Keyboard, and because i somehow shorted it out in testing,… a motherboard as the battery no longer charged from whatever shorted out. for that mistake i ate the cost of the new board but told the friend how much the job was it was a total of around $65 for parts as i also needed to buy a hard drive caddy and they wanted one of those silicon keyboard protectors. 3 years later i still haven’t been paid. When the 3rd HDD i replaced failed they wanted me to fix it this time due to the fact i had no parts on hand for another “free” hard drive, I told them they needed to buy a new HDD for me to fix it. after having the laptop for a month they finally contact me and say they bought another laptop from another friend and that i can keep this netbook and do with it what I please. Not really a ungreatful friend as when it worked they never complained and were pleased with what i did. But being that i was never paid for the 4 times i worked on it 3 being hard drive replacements i thought that i would share this story.
