Q-Ball Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 I went from the old 88-93 seat belts to the newwer 94-96 GP ones. Stopping quite fast yesterday, I noticed my front belts dont lock. The rear lock fine still ( I think this is due to no wiring ) Anyone have experianced this? If I cant fix this, I'll have to go back to my old GM ones. I dont want to, but I also dont want to die if I ever get in a crash. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Have you tested them? Mine don't lock when the car is sitting, but do when I slam on the brakes, they way they are designed. Quote
Regal_GS_1989 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 AFAIK, all the wiring does is prevent the seat belt from locking when you open the doors. That is the click that you hear about 5 seconds after you close the door. You could always try and unplug the wiring and try it again to see if they lock. Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 That is the click that you hear about 5 seconds after you close the door. I have always always wondered what that was, I thought it was something in my power locks related to my aftermarket remote Quote
Crazy K Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 That is the click that you hear about 5 seconds after you close the door. I have always always wondered what that was, I thought it was something in my power locks related to my aftermarket remote they are currently unplugged in the 92 vert. I don;t see them as useful Quote
ManicMechanic Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 They were draining my battery... Quote
Crazy K Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 They were draining my battery... ditto. sort of. I never confirmed it, but I never had a problem after I unplugged that and a few other things. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Mine was definitely that, would drain it in a matter of hours, took me 2 weeks to chase that down. Quote
gpchris Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 I've got sets of front seatbelts in tan and dark grey if you want em pm me. Quote
rockfangd Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 i never understood why some gm seatbelts get so hot. I burn the shit out of my hands unless i unplug the belts when i have to work inside the doors lol Quote

Q-Ball Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Posted October 26, 2007 Ya, I dont know why they are burning hot either. I think I will just disconnect it and see what happens. Maybe while I'm driving, I'll get someone in the passenger seat to pull the belt hard while driving. Ofcourse they can pull the passengers belt, and not mine. Quote
runt Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 That might be tough because there is a counter weight in there that makes it lock up. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 That might be tough because there is a counter weight in there that makes it lock up. yea, you can't just pull them tight. a weight in the door swings forward when the car stops. i never understood why some gm seatbelts get so hot. I burn the shit out of my hands unless i unplug the belts when i have to work inside the doors lol damn, some of you guys got heated seatbelts? was that a winter package option or something no but seriously, never had that happen I guess they're fine to unplug. As said, they disable the lock on the seatbelt when opening the door, since our seatbelts are supposed to be buckled in at all times, as part of our "passive restraint" system Quote
