In the FSM, there is a diagnostic you can run to determine which seatbelt position sensor is not working properly. Otherwise, to disable, just unplug the power connector which is behind the plastic B pillar trim.

Does the seatbelt guy flash on the dashboard?

It sounds like there is a short or possibly an issue with a limit switch. I would suggest doing as BSOD suggested and unplug the main connector going to the belts. Then you can use the allen key in the center console to wind the motors to their back position and just clip & unclip the seat belt as needed.

there are two IIRC, one at each end of the seal belt track. as stated earlier, the FSM contains diagnostic procedures to determine which sensor(s) is bad.

Your problem may be a limit switch. Here's a thread with info on diagnostics
