my passenger automatic seat belt does not work. very rarely it works so i dont think its the motor. does anyone have any other idea? or has anyone encountered this before?

Those things are crap IMHO. http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=32077 You need something like this from a canadian car.

sorry i forgot to speficy. this is on my loyale. wanna get it working before its sold

Hmmm, I guess I need to pay more attention to the forum its posted in...

 

Does the door dinger button work right on that side. IIRC the belts get their signal to opperate from them. That would be the first place I looked.

 

Or you could go to a j/y and find some 85-89 gl/dl manual belts and pillar trim.

there was never a dinger on that side...

Hmm. Maybe a switch on the inside of the door.

do you know where the wiring is run to the seatbelt? does it run under the glove box?

its the switch that turns on the dome light. Small rubber boot, about the size of a quarter at the base and the size of a dime at the top. Not a round boot, it has an oval base to it, but the plunger switch inside it (and the waffled "top" part of the boot) is round.

 

Not incredibly easy to replace; (not DIFFICULT but I expected quick and simple which it wasnt) my car had just enough wire attached to the switch to barely remove it from the hole. I had to pull the interior trim piece off to expose enough wiring to replace the switch on my driver door. You can just use one from one of the back doors, or go to the boneyard for a replacement.

awesome thanks D
