auto seat belts

[yaherdme]

My passenger side doesnt work either. It goes foward when you open the door but doesnt retract. So I just wound it back and unplugged it. I was hoping to take it to Honda to get them to replace it for free but your saying the warrenty just covers the belts and thats it. Thats dumb, wouldnt you think it would cover the most obvious thing to go bad, the motor? Ive never seen a bad seatbelt.

With auto seat belts there's a sensor that makes them retract as well as a motor I'm pretty sure. They replaced my sensor ( free ) and mine work again. The recall, where I live anyways, had to do with the sensor.

I had the same problem in my '91, passenger seatbelt seldom worked. I replaced the "seatbelt warning control", i.e. the computer, located under the passenger seat, and the problem was solved. Apparently the current from ther motors has a habit of frying these computers. Best to get one at your local junkyard, making sure the computer has remained dry.

The lifetime warranty on the seatbelts MIGHT work but i doubt it, its more for the belts themselves not the motor/track

Adding coupe manual seatbelts might be easier, they do not have height adjustments which require being welded on. im not 100% sure on how they are attached though as i have never removed the plastic cover around it.

I was wondering about adding the height adjustable seatbelts to my 92 Coupe. They have the manual non adjustable now. I am going into the dealer tomorrow to see if they will replace my current seatbelts under warranty and want to ask them if they can convert them to the height adjusting kind for a fee if necessary. Is this a possible modification that can be done for these seatbelts?

the warranty with the seat belts will cover your problem OP. call and make a appointment at your local Honda dealer. they will find the problem on visit 1 and fix on visit 2 .

whats this about the lifetime warranty on seat belts?

If the belt doesn't retract like its supposed to, they fix it for free.

Why should they fix the motor for free? It's not a safety issue if the belt is stuck in the upright position. That's like saying they should fix your power window motor for free if it breaks.

Oh and if your belt is stuck in the down position, there is a way to crank it back up.

na ur right about the window motor i didnt expect them to replace that for free. just never hear of a seat belt lifetime warranty.

do you know how to crank it back up without just forcing it?

anyone? need help manually cranking the auto seat belt to the back position?

[DarkHusk11]

just grab the latch and pull back is hard but not impossible

The auto belts are better, easier. I think anyway. You never have to think about putting yoy seatbelt on . The only problem is that you cant fit a center console withe the arm rest. The belt roller gets in the way.

^ I prefer the auto seatbelt too.... becuz I'm too lazy at buckle up most of the time.

helpfull

i almost gave up
and finally found this thread
i have my driver side seat belt not wanting to retract
passenger works fin but driver wont go to rear position just annoying hearing tha beeping and haveing it forward when i am driving plus had a few dirty looks from a cop other day, didnt get pulled over tho, lucky i guess but need it fixed asap,

so to sum up what ive rear so far is that honda will not warrentie the auto seat belts, and if i jump my seat motor and it works the replace my computer under the passenger seat

correct?
