WTB: Left side automatic seatbelt assembly

machgirl · Post by **machgirl** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 12:25 am

I am in need of the left side automatic seatbelt assembly. The seatbelt light in my subaru that I just recently purchased keeps blinking on and on and on it does not shut off unless the car is off. I was told that this assembly was bad, and I needed to replace it.

Also need a passenger front door power window switch.

Does the seatbelt assembly work? If it works or is stuck in the forward position, there's a key on the underside of the center armrest that you can use to move the seatbelt mouse to its safe position. That might shut off your light and then you can just unbuckle it with the button.

It works, the seatbelt goes in and latches. BUT, the light does not go off. I do not have any chimes either...do not know if that has anything to do with it.

Both seatbelts work, as far as I can tell..

Sounds like you just have a bad sensor for the thing, not the assembly. Might just be a plug somewhere or something that's disconnected. You might want to PM Blackbart for stuff.

Ok, so where can I find this person? I looked at the plugs under my driver seat and they looked ok....I do not know if those have anything to do with the blinking seatbelt light or not.

If the belt system works then it isn't the problem. The light's on because it can't tell it's working so the switch inside the belt latch that kills it or a connector or something is bad. If you can't yank the belt mechanism by hand, it's most likely fine and the light's little more than an annoyance.

You can find Blackbart on the member list or you can probably find a thread of his somewhere in the parts shed.

Yank the belt mechanism by hand? You mean pull on the seat belt itself?

When the seat belt is locked into the safe position, you shouldn't be able to pull it back down the track by hand. If you can, it's probably not safe in an accident. I'm not sure how the mechanism sensor is set up, so if you can pull it by hand, it's not locking down properly and the light may be on to let you know that. It's POSSIBLE that you might be able to lock it in properly with the key in the arm rest if it isn't seating right.

If it is locking in fine, it's more than likely just a faulty sensor/switch not shutting off the light.

I can not pull up the mechanisms once they're locked in place, IE when they're seated in place when I shut the door.
I CAN however, pull them back towards the back of the door partway...I dont know if that has any bearing on it.
