F-150 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

The contact stated the front seat belt retractor quit working without any previous problems. The seat belt will retract and not give any slack. He unbolted the seat belt fitting from the floor to allow the strap to go in further. The strap came out, but subsequently the same thing happened as before. This did not correct the problem. He bolted back the seat belt fitting. The vehicle has not seen by a dealer. No further repairs or corrections were made. Updated 11/29/05.
