I was at the store yesterday and left the car running while my friend and I ran in. When we came back out, i noticed 3 things. 1. My car didn't get stolen (thank god) 2. Clear turn signals on a black SC look great. 3. The passenger door was shut but the belt didnt' retract.
So we get in the car and my friend Adam tries opening and closing the door a few times, no luck. Well when I bought the car the belt was stuck there too. I paid ford to install a seat belt limiter switch or something and then it worked for about 4 years. I'm wondering if this switch in the door could have just came disconnected. Anyone know how hard it is to change it?
I'm going to pull the back seat out and open the compartment and crank the belt back so no one will get a seat belt ticket in my car. I hope this time the motor didn't burn out. Maybe this is the excuse I need to put harnesses in my car.
I am really getting sick of looking at the seat belt light. If it stays on once I crank the belt back manually I'm going to pull the gauge cluster and remove the bulb.
The other day I noticed the belt acting funny. With the door open it'd twitch and sometimes retract half way and then go back forward. I was thinking it is because of the cold air and I had just washed the car and maybe some cold water got down in the door on this switch. Thank god I unplugged the buzzer cuz that seat belt warning light sets off a buzzer and its really annoying.
Anyone have any ideas? I would be up for trying to replace the switch myself. Ed if you read this can you see if you can find me a Motorcraft part number. Thanks.
