Pasenger side seat belt wont release in my 2005 Kia Rio

SOURCE: Kia rio rear seat belt got stuck ?

have to change seat belt

SOURCE: Pasenger side door windows will not operate. Front one stuck open

I have a 99 Kia Sportage that had the exact same problem. You can fix the switches without having to spend ANY money to replace them! You first have to remove the door panel. Disconnect the wires going to the switch and then remove the switch from the panel. Remove all the screws from the bottom of the switch, including the ones holding the metal clips. Then carefully pry each side upwards from the locking tabs and pull the switch apart. BE CAREFUL not to lose the little metal rockers inside the switch! Now all you have to do is clean all the contacts and rockers with a brass wire brush, or fine sanpaper, (or even a good ink eraser will work). Then put the switch back together, reinstall it, and test it out! You'll be back in business and didn't spend a dime! I did this with my 98 Ford Windstar, too.

There is a wire rod that releases the seat for adjustment, look under the seat and see if it has come off.

Hi, this is a generic problem with the car and once these belts is beginning to lock up, its almost impossible to free them. It's high time you visit the deal and preparing your mind to change it...

SOURCE: the back rest of the passenger seat wont go

There should be a release button at the base of one of the supports. Depress button while pushing down headrest at the same time
