automatic seat belts not working

[InitialdVR4]

i just bought 890/2000 as a family car for a baby on the way but both, driver and passenger side door automatic seat belts dont budge at all and im not much of a electronic person so anyone with insight to this, the help would be very much appreciated. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Is the belt in tension? Sometimes my belts don't moved because I was acting a fool and the belt locks, then when I turn off the car it pulls the belt back and jams itself. After I un-hook the belts, and release the tension, they move freely. Figured you should try the obvious before trying to trouble shoot, good luck!

they havent moved at all with no tension what so ever so i feel like its getting no power or just jammed?

Get a test light and check all of your fuses next to the clutch pedal. My wiring diagram says its fuse #17, not sure which one that is though. The previous owner seems to have misplaced my owners manual and fuse cover.

Since my first post was not very helpful..

click

^link to the fuse box. Good luck!

One option I highly highly recommend is getting a manual seat belt kit from an 89 Galant.

Electric models, ie electric chokers, are nothing but problems IMO. There's an 89 in my local yeard, will check it out next week for the parts if interested.

 

[InitialdVR4]

okay pm me if you deside to pick them up very interested.

I will also have an auto set up for sale soon also. I am going the 89 manual belt route.

Hey EB notice your post count is not going up with all those ? responses.

Love these strays trying to get their post counts up to sell parts..... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

 

[InitialdVR4]

Who are you referring to?

 

[ktmrider]

^^ EB = evoBeast who replied to a number of threads with ? as his post.

I finally got a chance to visit UPI for the 89 LS. Seat belts were CUT OFF for whatever reason. Sorry I couldn't help out.

Did you ever figure out the electric ones? Both sides being out seems like more of a fuse/relay/power issue.

On that note I also have my old e-chokers, OP they're yours for the cost of shipping.

 

[InitialdVR4]

Not at all, ive checked the fuses but not the relays. would you happen to know what relay it it? To be honest i don't know what an e-choker is?

 

[ktmrider]

Sorry e-chokers is what I call electric/auto seatbelts. Caught my head/neck numerous times when reaching into the car thru the window while running ( setting BISS for example ).

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the seatbelts are controlled by the ETACS unit.
