One thing after another, after another, after another!

 

ok so something else im gunna need some advise on, i pulled my seatbelt out the other day and now it doesnt go back in, it is all the way out now and clicked around each time i pulled it! So im guessing the ratchet mechanism thing that would usualy pull a seatbelt out has now broke too!!

 

What are my options?? Any advise is more than welcome!

 

Thanks Everyone!

Take the door card off and unplug the connector from the recoil barrel (This is presuming you have a series 1 of course). Nissan designed in an electronic seatbelt slackener. Works fine if the seatbelt webbing is brand new and the recoil mechanism nice and oiled, but the rest of the time it's a PITA and it gets worse as time goes by.

 

It will go back in if you mess around with it and the buckle lock. Put the key in the ignition, turn the ignition on and lock the seatbelt as if you were going to drive, this primes the electronics for the seatbelts. Then give the seatbelt very gentle tugs. Eventually, the recoil mech will release. But once it is, when you have a chance, take the door panel off and disconnect it and clean the belt webbing. It should prevent it from happening again.

 

I am actually in Portsmouth tomorrow night; although I'd rather not be fixed Zs, if you're really stuck, I can pop round for a few minutes in the evening.
