i have a 91 honda accord DX.
the PASSENGER side seat belt is stuck.
it's beeping constantly.

can i stop the beep if the seatbelt track is stuck in the middle of the track? i tried looking under the passenger side & i saw 3 plugs. i unplugged the left one and the middle one but it was still beeping. i couldn't get the right one unplugged & it was late & i was tired.

how can i get this to stop beeping? no one ever drives this car but me, it's my work car, so i don't need a passenger side belt.

if i do have to fix it, anyone have an educated guess what they would charge me at the dealership?

i did spray some wd40 in the track as well, but it's still stuck.
thx for anyone's help.

Read your owner's manual.

If you are in USA, you probably have a lifetime warranty on the seatbelts. Wipe off the WD-40 and call the dealer.

i am in the USA. in Ohio!
that warranty would apply to the track too? we did take it to the dealer but they were busy that day & grouchy, funny they didn't mention this. i'll try to find my manual and look at it.

Check for a blown fuse. It's probably in the underhood fuse block on the right fender wall.
 
we took out the right & the left fuse and both looked ok, they aren't broken or blown. also, when the fuses were out it still beeped. any other ideas?
 
anyone else have any ideas? the beeping is getting on my nerves! thx.

Did you take it to the dealer for the lifetime warranty?
 
the seatbelt is stuck on the track on the passenger side. you really think that would be covered?? i could see if the seatbelt strap was ripped but this is the tracking on the door. if you really think they'll fix it i'll give it a try. i just know how the dealership wants to make money & i want to avoid them at all costs. but i'll give it a shot if you think it will work. thx for the followup.
 
hi, i just called our honda dealership. the man said the warranty applies to the buckle & the belt but not the track. it would be about 2-300$ to fix it! i don't use this belt or seat though. any ideas on how to stop the beeping? i did remove the left & center wiring under the passenger seat but the beeping continued. i couldn't get the right one off. maybe that's the one that controls the beeping? anyone know?
 
GUESS WHAT - i took it into the honda dealership & they said the problem was with the computer. they fixed it all for free! my apologies for not trusting everyone.
thx!!!
 
I've been through hell and back with the passenger seatbelt in my '90 civic ex sedan. The belt's travel in the track was intermittant and I couldn't figure out what the culprit was. The fuses tested OK with a voltmeter. After disassembling most of the mechanism (including poking around with the door switch) I went back to double check the fuses on the positive terminal of the battery one day while I had the key turned on and the passenger door open. As soon as I touched the wires coming out of the fuse harness on the battery I heard the belt travel to the front of the track. I then sprayed a little Deoxit into the harness and shoved the wire in as hard as I could... it's worked ever since.

The passenger belt is set to travel to the front of the track any time the door is opened, whether the key is on or off. It will travel to the rear position when the key is on and the door is shut.

The driver belt is set to travel to the front of the track when the key is turned off (or the door is opened with the key on) and to the back only when the key in on and the door is shut.

This isn't explained at all in my Haynes manual or my Honda Electrical Troubleshooting manual, so it took some experimenting to figure it out. It made it kind of hard to troubleshoot because I didn't know that the logic would be different on driver and passenger sides.

Passive seatbelts are a curse, which is I think why they only made them for 2 or 3 years. I'm sure a lot of people used the passive shoulder belt and not the lap belt, and I think they'd be worse off in a crash than someone not using any belt at all.
