Drivers seat belt releases spontaniouly - 2003 Ford Windstar

Removing the middle seats from a R350 Mercedes Benz 4matic can vary depending on the model year and specific configuration of your vehicle. Here are some general steps on how to remove the middle seats from an R350 Mercedes Benz 4matic:

1. Begin by locating the seat release lever or button. This will typically be located on the bottom of the seat, near the floor.
2. Press the seat release lever or button and then pull the seat forward. This will release the seat from its locked position.
3. Once the seat is released, you will need to remove the seat belt from the seat. This is typically done by pressing a button or lever on the seat belt retractor and then pulling the seat belt out of the seat.
4. After the seat belt is removed, you can lift the seat out of the vehicle.
5. To remove the back seat, you will need to locate the release lever or button on the seat back. This will typically be located near the top of the seat back, on the side that faces the rear of the vehicle.
6. Press the release lever or button and then pull the seat back forward. This will release the seat back from its locked position.
7. Once the seat back is released, you can lift it out of the vehicle.

Keep in mind that the specific steps may vary depending on the model year and configuration of your R350 Mercedes Benz 4matic. It is recommended to consult the owner's manual for your specific vehicle for more detailed instructions, or contact a professional technician for assistance.

No the belt needs to be replaced along with the airbag, the seat belt is what they call an active belt system.

You are probably pulling belt at the wrong angle and it won't release. Pull with easy steady tension, trying a different angles and it should come free for you. If it doesn't, then take it back to SEAT or VW, they can show you in 1 minute how to free it. Since it's a mandatory safety device, there should be no charge unless it requires replacement.

Not an easy task. You likely have one of 2 problems. If center seat belt is in the seat that is down, it may be locked. If so, you need to remove the seat back cover then the seat belt retractor. You can then position the seat belt retractor upright (how it sits when the seat is up) and pull the seat belt out making slack to raise the seat. This only happens if the either the stop on the seat belt is broken or the seat belt guide on the seat back is broken. If that's not the problem, you likely have a release cable that has come loose under the seat. If you look at the half that works, you can determine what you need to move on the locked seat and try to get to it with a long tin screwdriver or similar implement.

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

You can go to the junk yard, or the dealer and get a replacement latch. The latch should be attached either to another piece of seat belt, or its a cord that is bolted to either the seat or the floor. Should be torx or star bit that removes it, its pretty simple, but worst case scenario you may have to remove the seat to access it. Seats are usually only 4 bolts and a wiring harness that you can unplug. I don't take chances with seat belts, so you may want to ask the dealer. Parts store may sell them, but I'm not sure.

The seat belt does not work on an ignition locking device. Need to remove side panel and visually inspect roller and gear locking mechanism.

sounds like the bearings in the reels clutch is faulty and you need to replace the seat belt

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

so after completely tearing the seat apart I found 2 wires going up to the seat belt mechanism from under the seat, these wires got caught in the seat mechanism underneath and were shredded. There must be a small solenoid inside the seat belt mechanism because I could hear it click after I repaired the wires(this circuit is live even with the ignition off) Im not sure how it all works but this solved my problem.
