How do I fix SRS code 8-5 on my Honda accord. I checked the code and its internal failure of SRS or SRS unit. My car was side swiped before I got it. Doors and seat belt have been replaced, do I need to replace the seat also? Oh and can't reset the the SRS light either

Seat is not part of the SRS system, at least not electrically. There are two dash sensors and the unit itself is sensitive to erratic or low voltage issues with the vehicle.
Verify your battery is clean, fully charged, with clean tight connections.
Verify the main power and ground cables are also clean and tight.
Verify all harness connections and grounds are clean and tight.
If the SRS indicates an internal failure there is nothing you can do to fix it, however you will need to verify first that the problem IS the SRS unit and not a voltage or damaged harness problem.
Do you have an FSM for the Accord?
