hello people,
im having a problem with my seat belt were it would get stuck going forward when i open the door....im able to tap it on the bottom and it retracts forward like normal but recently my seat belt has been spewing wire noodles all on my back driver side window leaving it all grease when i open the door...when i close the door the track wire goes back in.

Anyone having problem with the auto seat belt getting stuck when you open the door were you have to tap it in order for it to retract forward?

Yes, I too am suffering from a lagging seat belt motor(or whatever) on the drivers door.
Mine is intermitent, but will always move, after some banging aswell.
There is a fix, but haven't tried it yet.
There's a workaround, hooking it up to one of the rear window switches on the drivers door.

Re: Autoseatbelts Fixed!

To add to this thread some...

Today I noticed that the response of the seat belt was slightly different in response to 2 conditions:

1) when I turn the car off
2)when I turned the car off (AND removed the key)

Upon taking note of this I decided to play with the key/ignition. If I removed the key before opening the door, 5 times out of 6 it would give the undesired "delay" before the seat belt retracted. So I of course tried the opposite and turned the car off, opening the door before removing the key. The "delay" before retraction was still evident, but it was a much shorter delay.

I also noticed that when I "touched" the key while it was still in the ignition (in the OFF position WITH the door open) I could affect the delay. Often the seat belt would retract as soon as I "touched" the key.

So I went ahead and tried another option. I turned the ignition OFF and removed the key before I opened the door. Then tapped and the ignition or jiggled it with my finger and that ALSO shortened/eliminated the "delay" before the seat belt retracted.

To prove to myself that I'm not crazy lol, I would like a few of you who are experiencing this problem to try this and report back!

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Autoseatbelts Fixed!

If you've got 4 relays and a bit of spare time you could give this a shot. My roommate built mine a new brain with existing wires plus a 12v constant run from under the dash (ignition I think). That feeds to a open relay at rest, so you won't be draining the battery while you're parked. We also installed a fuse in line to prevent things getting too hot, but I've had this "mod" for a couple months without fail.

If anyone sees something scary in there, let me know cause I haven't got the mind for this stuff. That's what the roomie is for.

Re: automatic seatbelt solution

That worked for me. How cool is that! I can make my seatbelt work by opening and closing my rear window. I'm not going to tell the wife how to work the belt. That should keep her out of the car.
