Check with manufacturer on seatbelt warranty. Hondas come with a limited lifetime warranty. I saw an 86 Accord get seat belt fixed under warranty a few years ago. Check with your manufacturers warranty.

SOURCE: 2005 Saturn Vue with locked middle seat belt....

You'll need to take the housing cover off the seat belt, from there you should be able to access the tension switch on the seat belt. It sounds like it may be set too high...

SOURCE: '06 Volvo V50 drivers seat belt is jammed.

I solved this on my 95 volvo 850 glt as follows:

pull the seatbelt pilar cover off from the door jamb. this runs vertically up the pilar between the front an back door (beside the front seats. Once opened loosen the belt by gently pulling the belt upward toward the roof. You'll have to do this sometimes in small increments. Once the seatbelt is pulled out all the way, spray small amount of lubricant into the joint where at the top of the belt spool. Also use a screw driver to push spool upward while pulling the belt. At first it's only going to release a little but eventually the lubricant will work its way into the seam at the top of the belt spool and loosen up the stuck inertia catch. Until it completely loosens you might have to remove the pilar cover again and work the seatbelt out (also use the screw driver technique described above) in order to use the seatbelt. When parking, I would relatch the seatbelt and pull the slack up around the back of the head rest. After a day or so it worked normally.

good luck and don't give up.

Testimonial: "Thanks, this works! Got to mechanism by taking small hole edge trim off, pushing it upwards released ratchet. No probs since. "

Hi,My Estima failed a wof because the rear seat belts dont lock when you pull them,Yet I took one out and they work fine when you tip them.Any clues? thanks

Seat belts don't lock when you pull the belt out. They only lock when there is a change of motion of the vehicle. The mechanisk is set by a ball bearing that runs in a sauce shape cup. When stationmary the ball is at the lowest point and so the top plate is allowing the reel ratchet to turn freely. That is why when you get in the seat you can pull the belt easily to clip it up. However when you are moving and brake suddenly the ball runs to the edge of the cup and pushes the plate that engages a pall that locks the belt and restrains you in the seat.The same applies if you corner hard or roll over. When you removed the unit and it worked perfectly that is because you became the car ,moving and stopping ( when you tilted the reel and pulled the belt

Seat belt problem not locking

they have a mechanism called a seat belt cam which is gravity activted with force and usually at 15mph and with sudden braking the cams should lock. If u feel that they have to much play and seem like they dont lock properly id suggest changing both belt assemblies because the cams do wear or get stuck and fail like any other moving part and it is a saftey issue for u so better safe than getn injured with a faulty belt.

Seal belts on both front seats (driver side and passenger side) will not pull out of the retractor. Don't want a fine for not wearing belt but it won't work. No one seems to know how to fix it. ...

No one can fix it!

Don't you find that odd?

You remove the plastic seat belt retractor covers,
on the floor by the "B" Piller

If you need to replace them, the retractors I mean, there
is a special GM Torx Driver Bit for seat belts

I would play around with them to see what the issues are

IF THEY HAVE AN AIR BAG INVOLVED e.g. SRS
System integrated into the seat belts,disconnect the battery
(before) you even think of going near the covers

I was in a car accident and my seat belt is locked

The seat belt should be replaced. Any seatbelt that restrained a driver or passenger during a crash, should be replaced.

My Buick Regal 98 back seat belt (passenger side) is stuck. Is moving a little bit but that's all, can not use it to restrain a passenger. What should I do? How to take out the original seat belt box? It's...

Is the belt twisted? If you pull it all the way out it will engage the child lock. If the child lock is engaged and the belt is twisted, you have to try to feed the belt back in far enough to disable the child lock

Airbag light flashes 5-1 5-1 5-1 as long as the key is on

The way I solved my problem with the airbag indicator light is: I took the passenger side seat belt at full retraction and slowly pulled it out until it reached the stop several times and each time allowing the seat belt to fully retract to its normal position. Apparently there are foreign debris (dust, lint, loose hair, etc.) that is interferring with the sensor response and triggering the indicator to come on. All the seat belts in the vehicle (no matter what brand) should be exercised/cleaned periodically to eliminate this problem. Also, as you pull the seat belts out until it reaches its stop to wipe with a lint free cloth as it extends and retracts. Keep in mind that it could be another kind of problem. This solution has worked for me several times.

The passenger side seat belt is stuck on my 1995 toyota pick uptruck.The belt can not be used and will not move (release) ineitherdirection. Any tips?

Replace it as it is no longer safe to use even if you did get it moving again. The ratcheting/locking mechanism has gone bad.
