Automatic Seat Belts

Hey Guys,

What does activate the seat belt when you close the door, what does make it to start running, is there a sensor or something? Mine is a little retarted, sometimes when i close the door it wont run back on the track so i gotta open the door and close it a few times to activate it.

Thanks

Neo

Our resident genius, vrg3 can help you with diagnosing the electrical parts of it, however, I know that sometimes the belts just wear out. The solenoid that controls the seatbelts is in the vertical pillar directly to the sides of the front seats --it's covered by the plastic trim. Pull that trim off, and down near the bottom, you will see the seatbelt actuator. If you're willing to be risky, head out to your nearest junkyard and pull yourself another solenoid, to replace your failing one. This should make the belts work better, although, there's a reason we don't still have them today

Good luck!

Neo,

The seat belts are activated by a switch in the door latch itself.

Your problem could be in that particular switch, or possibly in one of the limit switches.

Has the seat belt light guy on the dash blinked or stayed on? It's possible the auto seat belt computer has a code stored.

Josh- There's a computer for the seatbelts? Damn, I should get some of this stuff fixed while I have the car sitting!
Got a link/doc/pic for it on your site?

THX!
