Flowmastered87GL Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 So.... my 91 legacy project car is having some seatbelt issues. Short story: They dont work Long Story: - I tried swapping the seatbelt brain and it didnt seem to make a difference - The fasten seatbelt light flashes and always flashes regardless of use of belts or door position. - The beeper DOES work when you disconnect the belt emergency release (on both sides) - The belts are stuck at the rear (travelling) position - The car was running, though I had to use a jumper box to start it - Door switches are kind of worn, though the door ajar (which door) indicator works - I opened and closed the doors afew times with the belt attached to the moving buckle and it wouldnt go forward to let me out. - All the fuses under the dash appeared to be ok at visual glance (and everything else in the car seems to work) - Key chime does not make noise when key is left in ignition and door is opened - 91 Legacy L, FWD 241K So the question is.... what else to try / check? Pull the trim and hotwire the belt to see if I can make it move? (like you can do to test a power window motor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(like you can do to test a power window motor) The cable that moves the buckle tends to get bound up over time. Your lucky that yours got stuck in the locked position. Honestly, I just unplugged the motor connection on mine and removed the seatbelt flashing light from the dash. I just duck under it getting in and out, or unbuckle and buckle it. That's abouut all you can do short of replacing the whole motor/track assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
