Just got a used Yaris. Some help with the small things

1. Check the PANEL1 fuse in the fuse box that is under the bottom of the dash board (look up from the floor, just behind the hood release lever).

2. That is fine - the U-tube just raises the level of where air is sucked from to prevent the car from hydrolocking when driving through deep puddles.

3. Replacing a seatbelt is pretty easy (on bolt under the plastic cover at the top of the b-pillar and two under the bottom of the b-pillar cover), but they are pretty expensive, because they contain the pretensioner, which explosively pulls the person aganist the seat when the airbag fires.

Hey Thanks again for the quick reply. I actually really appricate the support on this.

The utube makes me feel better cause i was like "WTF" is a part missing?! but couldn't figure out what would go there. strange that its behind the air filter.

If the seatbelt is expensive I'll just live with it. The other one is perfect but this one is just a little frayed at the edges for about 1 ft. If thats the case I'll just buy those oh-so-rice-cool seat belt cushions (have them for my mini too) as I don't want to mess with the pretensioners.

I'll checked both fuse panels but I checked the 2 fuse so i'll look again at the panel 1

Seems like this car had some security lights or equipment on it when it was a fleet car so it looks like they had to take off a bunch of electrical equipment and that could have meant some wires got cut on the uninstall.

Anyways I'll have a look again and report back.
