to make an early seat belt catch the re tractor has to be level
it works by a spoon section with a steel ball in the spoon free to move around that when braking is happening , the ball moves forward and lifts a lever which engages the lock
It is possible that you have the belts installed on the wrong sides
Most seat belts have to be retracted first before they will pull out for fasting. Try to push the seat belt back into the recoil unit (the unit that winds the belt up when not in use) and then pull it back out. There may be something binding the belt stopping it from backing into the recoil unit; look at the plastic trim around it, seat covers ect.)
Sorry about this.
The only way to know if this is covered under warranty is for you to confirm whether your warranty period is still active or not.
Warranty period active; take your car back to the dealer and get the seatbelt recoil fixed.
Warranty period inactive: you have to bear the cost to get the seatbelt recoil fixed orrepaired.
this case first remove cove from up side of seat belt it's look like around side up.from down side of this cover there is tow small lock with screw driver pull this side out then push up . then you can see bolt (19mm) remove , then down big cover (difrent coler) .remove tow door step cover have littile hard lock remove with screw drive it may be 3 or 4 lock for each one ,then the middle cover for seat belt have .
May have folded when recoiling. You won't really know if it can be fixed until you see whats the matter with it. My advice is remove it pull the belt until it stops examine the belt if it is folded you should be able to correct it. If their is a problem with the mecanism then you would be better to replace is. These things are sensitive and it's probably just worn out.
I believe the rear seat needs to be removed to access the fasteners for that panel. It is probably a big waste of time trying to repair that belt roller, try for a replacement at a junkyard.
It could have twisted on recoil and is now stuck. You'd have to remove the interior panel to view that.
On the really bad side, the seat belt pretensioner could have failed or fired and locked the belt in place. If that's the case, I'd have a mechanic replace it since you can trigger an air bag deployment replacing it yourself.
first for the switch in window
the window switch is easy to test you just gotta remove switch out of the door leaving it hang there is a way to test with a guaged wire with fuse on it
take the main power wire and touch to the other connectors on the main switch if the window goes down or up the switch is the problem
im suggesting this way first with fuse cause its easier then testing the windows motor inside the door frame the switches should just pop out of the panel with out haveing to take panel off
now the seat belts there are 2 style that are common to chevy
one is inside the molding of the drivers panel you gotta pop off the panels easily and gently to get at the seat belt retractor this will be bolted to the metal under the molding
the other style is in the seat which you gotta unbolt the seat under the top half it will need to be unbolted at the bottom top half of seat
when you pull threw the top section of top half of seat remember to tie a string to the end so that when you pull threw top half the string will be there so you can connect too new belt and pull back threw with ease make the string long enough to hang
now the bottom half of seat what i call the "**** seat" you remove the molding at bottom around the belt retractor this will be bolted to floor bolt also pull belt threw molding once molding removed
disconnect any electric wires
now saftey issue involved with seat belt removal is for a reason i dont know of the dealer ship always discharges the belts and air bags once removed i guess because of static electricity becareful when you remove belt and replacing belts cause static elec. can set them off
once your seat belt is removed place in card board box and take to dealer after complition of installing new belt they will discharge your seat belt for you and then you can dispose of it properly
