auto seatbelt issues
Here's what's going on:
When I turn my car off and open the door, the auto seatbelt thing just stays there. But, when I turn the car on, it works. Any thoughts on this? I was thinking a relay somewhere may have gone bad. But I dont know where the relays are in this car yet

Automatic trouble
Everclear,
I don't have this type of belt, but the manual indicates the control unit for the auto shoulder belt is under the rear window shelf, approx in the centre. It seems to be a flat rectangular box facing fore-aft, with a wiring loom into each end. This contains both of the relays, L1 and L2. Your problem might also be simpler than this, there is a limit switch at each end of the travel of the guide. If either of these was loose, bad earth, the signal to switch relays, and so to change direction, might be confused. Worth your while checking these are tight and working. After that, check your control box. Hope this helps Joe

I seem to have a simular problem. If I open the door when the car is still runing, the belt travels forward. If I turn off the key, it usually does not move unless I turn the key back on. It never has a problem traveling to the back position. I might check these switches myself, seems to have the problem at the one position only (back).

My auto seatbelt will not work sometimes (1 in 20). What I've noticed happening is that the belt is stuck in the locked position. I just give it a little push (outward, not upward) and it works fine.

I don't really know but I guess the belt could be turned off inthe locked position and then just use the belt manually. That would solve the decapation problem.

I am having the same problem. I am tring to check the connections, and lube the track as well as some other things. If anyone figures this out, please post. I have just gotten used to opening the door before I shut off the ignition. If I forget, I have to pick my head up off of the ground. Sooner or later I may learn, or get it fixed.

Yeah but the ones in the Volkswagons were the worst. Remember those? When you opened the door, the whole thing would stretch out.

My driver side belt has been doing the same thing. When the car is running it opens fine, however when the car is shut off sometimes it opens like it should, other times it is delays maybe 5-10 seconds and then opens fine. I have have noticed depending on the humidity the belt seems to wait longer.

You know? I am really glad this thread got started
My life with the shoulder belt has gotten a lot better. I unclip the shoulder belt before I get out of the car I put on the lap belt and the shoulder belt when I get in the car. This great Now I don't have to wait for the shoulder belt to get out of the way before I get out of the car.
