Not quite sure what you mean by got around passenger seat. But if the seat is blocking the belt from retracting, then you only need to unbolt the seat from the floor enough to manipulate the belt around the seat. Or just completely unbolt it all the way, you just need a 14mm deep socket and a ratchet. But if you mean the belt just won't retract, then you'll need a new retractor assembly. I hope this info helps!
Hi Ray, Removal of the seat belts requires removal of the seats. Adjust the front seats to the fully backwards position and remove the fixing bolts and then unhook rails at the rear.You will notice a wire cable attached to each seat used to adjust the belt shoulder hight. This must also be disconnected. On later model vehicles there is an automatic retraction unit which pulls the driver and or passenger back into the seat in the event of the air bags being deployed. These connections must also be removed. If seats are electrically operated unplug all connectors. Remove seats and then gently remove plastic door pillar covers. (These are in two pieces for each front belt.) Removal will leave the fixing bolts of retractable part of the seat belt exposed. The buckle side is fixed with one bolt and has an electrical connection which must be disconnected. Hope this is of help? Regards John
If both passengers and drivers side retractable belts have stopped moving, then it's likely the controller that's located under the passengers seat has gone bad. If only one side has stopped retracting and moving then that side motor has probably gone bad.
Unfortunately there is no easy Do It Yourself answer for this. You need to have a BMW specialist check out the code if there is a faulty sensor or if the computer system needs to be reset.
You don't necessarily have to go to the dealer as there are independent shops who have certified BMW specialists or can refer you to one - sometimes, you can find one on Craiglist who can come out to you.
HELLO SERGEY ITS JP . IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS A SEAT RECOGNITION SENSOR DEFECTIVE THIS SENSOR SEATS IN THE SEAT CUSION ,TO DETECT IF A PERSON IS SEATING DOWN OR NOT TO ENABLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IF IS DEFECTIVE IT WILL COME ON AND OFF. .AND THE SEAT BELT HAS A RETRACTION DEVICE THAT TENSIONS THE SEAT BELT WHEN IN A CRASH ,SO IF THE SEAT IS NOT DETECTING IT WILL NOT TROW THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OR THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER ,THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY A QUALIFIED TECH
