Take them out and unclip the plastic covers and clean and dry lube them

  • Anonymous Jul 23, 2012

    How do you unclip the plastic covers? What do you mean by "dry lube?" I'm having a similar problem: The passenger seat belt on my 2000 Tracker is stuck. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Power seat

Most Fordicon1.png products are designed so the seat belt latch by the center console moves with the seat. The bottom of the latch rides on the seat rail, and with time sometimes it builds up a little play on the rail. As the seat moves forward or back, the seat belt guide often tilts forward or back, just a bit, on the rail, and gets stuck. So you can move forward or back just a bit, but then it jams and you can hear the motor, but can go no further.

The long term fix is to remove the seat, disassemble the seat belt guide and rail, and usually replace some parts.

But the short term solution is often to simply hold on to the seat belt latch and rock it forward and away from the seat as you try to go forward or back. Or, sometimes it works besticon1.png to rock it backwards and away from the seat as you try to move forward or back. It all depends on which way it is binding.

There's no guarantee that it won't jam again if you move it all the way back or forward, but once you find the right position to hold the seat latch in while moving the seat, you should be able to re-adjust it where you need it to be.

I have a 2001 pontiac sunfire, and the passengers seat belt is in a locked position and will not let me buckle up. There is NO slack what so ever. I took the seat belt out and went and got another one from...

there is a weight in the base of the seat belt lock that may be stuck. take the cover loose and see if you can push the weight toward the rear of the car. if this works see if there is a chance that the belt lock is leaning forward when tight. when you hit your brakes these weights slide forward and lock the belt they should be tilted the the rear ever so slightly so they return when the car "leans back" hope this helps.

Seat belt stuck

Open small plastic access panel located between front and rear doors a few inches above floor. Disconnect the two wire connector (usually attached to car frame) and locate the male pin connector, usually 1 red and 1 blue wires. Run two long wires from a car battery negative post and positive post (battery on the car or separate.) Hold one wire against one pin of the connector and quickly touch the other wire against the remaining pin. This will cause the motor to turn in one direction. If motor turns in wrong direction simply reverse the wires until motor brings belt to desired position then quickly remove the wires. Reattach connectors to resume 'normal' operation after 'CAUSE' has been repaired.

Driver side power seat front to back motor stuck forward

Take apart the drive box in front of seat track, on both sides with an allen wrench. You can then push the seat to get at the bolts to remove it. My trolley drive motor had bad brushes. I am now looking to replace the motor, if I can find the replacement.
