That might be me. I've given the wiring diagram out to a couple of members, but I'm not sure anyone else has tried it yet. Over 2 1/2 years with a brick of relays back there and my seatbelt has never let me down yet. When I get home I'll pull the PDF and send it to you, if you'd like.
Edit: I've attached the Wiring Diagram. It's pretty self-explanatory but if you have any questions just hit me up. I haven't looked at this stuff since I installed it, so I might need to jog my memory.
In a nutshell, with a multimeter we found that one of the two wires leading to the motor was dead. That means that when that wire is Negative (-) the belt still functions, but when it needs to switch to Positive (+) it isn't sending power to the motor (i.e. belt goes forward, but doesn't return). The Yellow, and Green wires (Door Trigger, Belt [forward] Trigger respectively) were found locally in the space behind the door. Grey and Red (Ignition Trigger and Constant +) were brought from under the dash. A fuse was placed in-line on the Constant +, and we tested it until we found the right rating (basically we stopped the belt motion by force and the fuse blew, we kept blowing fuses until we found a rating that seemed good).
Hope this helps somebody. I'd be honored to contribute this to the network. If you think it'd help I could tear back into it and take some pics.
