Seat belt doesn't roll up

When i unbuckle my driver side seat belt it slowly coils back up and i have to help it by pushing it back into its hole. none of my other seat belts do this and i am wondering if there is a way to get my seat belt to roll up on its own because it hangs down and i sometimes close the door on it.

You did not state the age of your vehicle, however over the years, a seat belt will collect body oils, dirt, food particles, etc.
Pull your seat belt out as far as you can. Clamping in place makes the next part easier.
Grab a bucket of water, laundry detergent and a white (because you can observe soil staining) wash rag, then scrub your seat belt. Keep rinsing your wash rag and scrubbing the belt. Once the rag is no longer picking up stains, you're done.
Allow the belt to dry completely before allowing to retract.
Once dry, it should retract properly.
Do NOT lubricate the belt with silicone or WD40, etc. These are not designed for a safety critical item and are not required once the belt is clean.

SOURCE: Driver side window stuck on Nissan Maxima 2004

It is likely the window motor is wearing out and will need to be replaced. You can always try a different switch on those wires to rule out switch problem. Otherwise, the motor will have to be replaced.

How do u remove the rear seat on 1196 honda accord?

The rear seat is four (4) pieces.
You will need two tools a 6mm and 8mm wrenches.
1.) Unbuckle the rear seat belts. 2.) Locate the bolt in the center part of the rear seat, between the cushion and the seat-back. Remove the bolt with a 6 mm socket wrench. 3.) Push down firmly on the front edge of the rear seat cushion and pull it toward you to unhook and remove the rear seat cushion. Push the seat belt stalks through the center holes and lift the cushion out of the Accord. 4.) Pull the lever on the side of the rear seat bolster to lower the rear seat-back, which must be in the down position to access its bolts. 5.) Slide the center seat belt toward the passenger side of the vehicle. Move the loop over the edge of the seat-back to prevent it from hindering removal. 6.) Remove the three bolts from the bottom edge of the rear seat-back, using an 8 mm socket wrench. One bolt is in the center; the other two bolts are on either side. 7.) Pull the rear seat-back out of the Accord. The remaining sections of the seat should be the two side bolsters. 8.) Remove the bolts from the bottom of the side bolsters with a 6 mm socket wrench. Push firmly against the first side bolster. Push it upward to slide it out of its mount. Repeat the process on the bolster on the other side to finish removing the Accord's rear seat.

This should take approximately 15-30 minutes depending hoe mechanically inclined a person is.

Seat belt light doesn't turn off even when the car is turned off.

You have either a short to ground on the black/white wire going to the seat belt switch or you have a bad body control module. Disconnect connector C3 at the body control module and check for good ground with the seat belt UNBUCKLED. If you see that, it's the BCM

My seat belt sensor keeps going off when I am wearing my seat belt!!

I found this post via genvibe.com, it worked for me on my 07 Vibe:


This will turn off the 1 minute beep if the car is running and either the passenger or the driver takes off their seat belt.

Get in the car and turn the key to on (don't start the car,) then change the odometer to display "odo" and not trip A or B.

Turn the key off.

Turn the key back to on. Within six seconds of doing this, press and hold the odometer button. Do so for 10 seconds. Then, while still holding the button, buckle up, edit: then unbuckle. The "odo" display should then change to say "b-on." let go of the odo button to get it to read "b-off." Then wait for the display to change back to the odometer. That's it, you're done.

The car will still beep right when you turn it on for 3 seconds if you don't have a seatbelt, but the dash light will continue flashing till buckled up. It won't beep if you or your passenger unbuckles for a moment. Salvation!
