Seat belt will not move stuck - 1992 Ford Thunderbird

the catch ball is stuck Don't mess with seat belts, if they show signs of trouble, replace them, they are cheaper than your life.

Is it front or back ,take the cover off,there is 2 clips on side stops belt left the clips belt well move

Please bear with me, a lot of people don't know that if this occurs that you must start the vehicle and relax and pull out the seat belt with a firm and steady action but not to pull too fast or no yanking. You must start the vehicle to reset the security system for the vehicles safety belts to release and go back to ready to use mode

Most Ford 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 best 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.

seat belt might be folded over in the spring loaded mechanism of the seat belt, which is preventing it from moving freely

Seat belts are usually not repairable.The only thing that can be done is to check and make sure nothing is stuck in it or that it is not twisted.You have the kind that is in the seat back itself.These are a little more difficult to remove from the seat because it is so easy to break the plastic trim covers.Best thing to do if not familiar with auto repair to go to the dealer or auto repair shop that you trust and have them repair it.Good luck.

Replace it as it is no longer safe to use even if you did get it moving again. The ratcheting/locking mechanism has gone bad.

sounds like youve got a kiddy toy stuck in the rail ,4 bolts and the seats out !! BE CARFUL of the spring loaded slider ( if it is spring loaded ) it will *** you if given the chance.
