I have a 2006 2500 that has been treated roughly for 120,000 miles. I know that it has been in 2 minor front end accidents. The SRS light is lit on the dash. My DAD says that both the driver's side and passenger's side seat belt retractor squibs are showing a fault. According to the DAD service info, there is supposed to be greater than 20K ohms through the squibs. I have 2 ohms. But the retractor mechanisms work as smooth as silk with no noise or binding. I saw a picture on another thread:

that shows exactly what my squibs look like inside. The attached question was never answered: If it looks clean and shiny and empty inside does that mean it has deployed already? Or does that mean it is still good? Does anybody know?
Next question - I looked up the replacement belt retractor assemblies and there is only a drawing (of course) which fails to show the squib at all. But there is no separate listing for the squib. Can I assume that when I pay $200+ for a retractor that it comes with a squib? Again, anybody know?
Thanks to all who contribute to this forum. I find so many answers to so many of my questions here!
