The seat belt on the driver's side of my '98 Chevy Cavalier is stuck in the door position and won't pull out (it is a manual seat belt). How do I get it unstuck?
Re: The seat belt on the driver's side of my '98 Chevy...
Usually when they get stuck you can`t get them unstuck unless they are just twisted.seat belts are not repairable.Your best bet is to go to the salvage yard and get a used one and replace it.

This door jamb problem happened to my car! The metal seat belt hasp was jammed in the door and this prevented the door fro fully fitting in its door frame. The slight misalignment created a stress on the door lock as it grabs the door jamb u shape. Crawl in the passenger side and look to see if the seat belt is jamming door. Use your strength to pull the seat belt hasp out of the frame.
Pull the release straps located in the trunk. The right strap operates the passenger's side rear split seat. The left strap operates the driver's side rear split seat. Fold the seatback down from the inside of the vehicle
This is going to sound a little odd, but properly jack the car and then try opening this door. Put the jack in the recommended jacking spot on the passenger side.
Imagine that the back and front ends of the car are compressing the center of the car. By lifting one end or the other, the center may shift. Otherwise you do not have a frame, but the engine cradle may have a support located closer to the center of the vehicle. Do not jack the sheet metal, but you may catch the cradle and apply lift there.
You may notice by putting in a piece of cardboard in the doorjam on whether there is an increasing gap as you jack the car.
For 1996 Chevrolet 1500, the fuse block door access is on the drivers side edge of the instrument panel. Pull off the cover to cover to access the fuse block. Check the position 13 (Power Amp, Cigarette Lighter, Door lock Relay, Power Lumbar Seat) and A position (Power Door lock, Six-way Power Seat, Keyless Entry Module).
you have to run a power wire to the motor in the door and press up on the window button it should go back up if not then you need to change the button hook up or the motor
If brute force doesn't unstick it remove the back seat and pull the cover off of the reel. The problem should be apparent. You can turn the reel with a large screwdriver if need be. If the belt is damaged find another one at your local recycler, the side reel is behind a plastic panel that is easily removed, the assemblies are held in by big bolts.
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.
