My seatbelt will not buckle unless I push down the button and put the seatbelt in at the same time. My seatbelt alarm also does not go off even when the seatbelts are buckled. thank you
Have the same problem in my 98 Toyota Rav4. I squirted the female buckle (bolted to seat, not holding strap harness) with wannabe WD-40 lubricant from the $1 store, and it seem to have solved the problem. I'm guessing the spring mechanism is worn out, which is why the harness buckle won't lock. Another solution is to replace the female lock buckle with an identical part from the used parts junkyard store.
The seatbelt light on the dash stays "on," even when everyone has their belt on, but I don't bother servicing that. If yours have an audible alarm instead of an indicator light on the dash, locate the source of the alarm sound and disconnect the wires to silence the sound.

It is a safety latch that is doing it's job.
If you wreck the car the belt stops preventing you from hitting the dash or going through the windshield.
Try this test to make sure they work:
Get in the car and start it,
Put your foot on the brake, and put the seatbelt on -
Now yank on the shoulder part real hard if it doesn't stop immediatly you should get it replaced.

there is a switch under the seat feel arround under the seat and look for wires follow them up and down and find the plug it is likely near the carpet
