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.

Hi, We are having the same problem with our son's car. Were you able to come up with a solution?

SOURCE: seat belt is locked. how do i unlock it?

the seatbelt pretentioner goes off at 5mph,the airbag at 9 mph,so you will have to replace both items with new.lucky no one was hurt eh..... and yes all cars fire at the same speed....

SOURCE: i have a 2005 chevy

you can not release the seat belts. They are a one time use, kind of like the air bags. the seat belt fire off and they can only be replaced, but insurance should cover that expense.
if this answered your question please give a thumbs up to help others.
