Fix a Stuck Seat Belt Retractor

Before jumping to the solution of how to fix a seat belt stuck seat belt retractor, it is crucial to first understand how seat belt retractors work. Seat belts are made up with mechanical components that includes the coil spring, locking mechanism, retracting gears and a pyrotechnic device or explosive. The last part is the important one here. While many seat belt retractors may act up due to a bad coil spring, the majority of stuck seat belt retractors have a different reason. That is the pyro or explosive. It is blown.

On the right, a white cap is visible. That is where the coil spring sits and is responsible for the retraction of the seat belt. On the left side, you can see a plug. That's where the wire connector goes into. Why? It triggers the pyrotechnic device! So what is that? Each seat belt retractor is equipped with an explosive that goes off during a crash. This is activated by the SRS airbag controller. Even a minor fender bender can set this off! Other popular instances include pot holes, curb hits, crashes, accidents, collisions and improper handling of airbag systems. Once the pyro explosive is activated, the seat belt retractor instantly locks up and that's how you get a stuck seat belt retractor! The #1 reason for a stuck seat belt retractor is an accident. Once this happens, you will need to repair your seat belt retractor. Repair My SRS is your answer!
