Re: My automatic seat belts are stuck around the halfway...
Probably best to replace, when the mechanism gets unreliable do not risk fixing try a wreckers yard, make sure the replacements pull out cleanly but lock when "jerked" hard.

Go out and turn the key to the on position and see if you hear a whine coming from around the gas tank which is the fuel pump priming the fuel system. You should be able to hear it from your seat, but if not, have somebody get down and look under the car to see if they hear it. If you don't hear anything, then it is most likely a fuel pump or possibly the fuel pump relay. Everytime I have not heard a noise, though it was not the relay.
Hey Aimmy,
Yes, you can do this... get the special tools you will need from the O'Reilly or Autozone "loaner program".. Get one of these before you start!! 1991 2002 Saturn series Haynes Repair Manual
Put some pressure on the steering wheel in one direction or the other this may take the pressure off the cylinder itself and allow you to do what is needed...hope this works.
well first you drain the coolant out at the low point on the radiator, that way it is saved if new. then you take off the right front wheel and remove the plastic access cover from behind the wheel to get to that side of the engine. then you take off the serpentine belt and etc. yes you can do this with the engine still in the car. you may want to consider replacing the serpentine belt and tensioner while you are in that area.
have your brakes checked. the seat belt may be covered under warranty, ck with the dealer. I worked at a Honda Dealer in the 80's and I think their seat belts were covered for the life of the car. I could be wrong
You'd need to pickup the need parts at the junkyard. You'll need the "A" to "B" pillar trim, lower "B" pillar trim, front seat belts and seatbelt giude from a 1995 SC1 or SC2.
The treaded hole in the frame of the car where the track of the automatic seatbelt assembly attaches is in a slightly different place than the three point system. Its not a problem though. You just need to drill a 3/4" hole slightly above the existing hole in the trim panel. The existing hole is hidden by the seatbelt and not noticable at all.
Everything else pretty much bolts or snaps into place.
I've done this swap on several 1991-1994 Saturn S-Series.
Work your steering wheel while attempting to pull it out, you might try some WD 40 if you can get it to go back far enough, Another thing that might work is to take a pair of channel locks and add some pull to it while attempting to remove it. Unfortunately, the module will have to be replaced any way, but if you can get it freed, the WD 40 might put you back in business.
