Try squirting some type of penetrating oil down where the belt inserts into the lock, then while pushing the release button as hard as you can, wiggle the belt latch up and down as hard as you can. Personally, I like SiliKroil penetrating fluid.

SOURCE: my drivers side automatic seatbelt is stuck on the

Open small plastic access panel located between front and rear doors a few inches above floor. Disconnect the two wire connector (usually attached to car frame) and locate the male pin connector, usually 1 red and 1 blue wires. Run two long wires from a car battery neg. post and pos. post (battery on the car or separate.) Hold one wire against one pin of the connector and quickly touch the other wire against the remaining pin. This will cause the motor to turn in one direction. If motor turns in wrong direction simply reverse the wires until motor brings belt to desired position then quickly remove the wires. Reattach connectors to resume 'normal' operation after 'CAUSE' has been repaired.

Hi,
If you can remove the inner door panel you will see a maze of cables running to the various locking points on the sliding door. The front cable is short, and easily replaced.

Seatbelt will not extract on driver side

There should be a mechanism in the door jamb near-to the seatbelt. If equipped, push on it while jerking seatbelt until it retracts. If not equipped, close door firmly while jerking seatbelt to activate retract.

1993 mercury villager- drivers side seatbelt is stuck.

You have a limit switch at each end of the seat belt track. One could be bad. Is belt stuck forward or at the back? It also has a module to control it.
It operates like a garage door opener. If you have to replace track, it's a big job. Have to take a lot of trim off the van. Best thing to do is get it in the rear position and just use the buckle. Get used part at car-part.com.
page with * is lowest pice. Or, go to pick n pull salvage yard and pull it yourself and learn how it comes out.

99 maxima rear drivers side seatbelt does not retract.

Inertia reels get stuck permanantly if pulled out suddenly over time or after an accident. You may be able to remove it or pull lightly out with little tension and tap on it, if not you may need to replace the inertia reel.
