Dirty Rockstar Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Yay! I fixed them!! I first tried to bend the contact-a-majigs back, but that made it worse.. I went out today and got another switch from a Euro.. I got pissed when in an attempt to activate my turn signals, my high beam actuator assembly initiated the brighter fore beams.. At a cop.. I pulled the old one out, threw the new in, and look! No hands!! I also got a new seat belt clicker so now my fasten belts light and bell goes off on start up.. And I got a new batterey.. 9 years is a bit MUCH on a battery I guess.. lol Quote
vegaslumina Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 yea 9 years on a battery is a long time...I had the same problem with the seatbelt light on and it gets really annoying Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Posted August 14, 2004 lol.. Yea.. Mine didnt even go on at all.. But I solved THAT issue Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 My seatbelt's having a bit bigger issues than the light not going off.. half the time the fucking top part of the belt won't retract! I have to give it a few pulls and USUALLY eventually it'll retract it.. today I was trying to leave Home Depot and the fuck came all the way out and I couldn't get it to pull it back in. ended up saying fuck it any drove halfway through the parking lot and it retracted.

Dirty Rockstar Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Posted August 15, 2004 Gutless, sounds like the actuator is fucked on it.. I dont know how to fix that, short of getting pissed and replacing it.. Same thing happened to me on my 6k.. I got pissed and replaced it after about a year w/o a safety belt.. Quote

On the bottom of the retractor there's a weight actuator. As the car decellerates rapidly, the centrifugal force sends the weight forward and locks the seatbelt. Ensure that this part can move FREELY otherwise this is what'll happen. Occasionally mine locks up COMPLETELY and I have to move it around manually.. thank god for having no door panel on. Oh yeah, If you want the seatbelt light off, just unplug the harness on the anchor. It's on the floor right by the carpet. Pull the plastic "+" piece out and disconnect the wire. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Posted August 15, 2004 Just dig right to the left of it in the hole.. THe harness has enough slack to where you can pull enough of it out and disconnect it.. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 How close are you to getting the car done? Will it be ready in time for the MN meet in October? It sure sounds like you're having fun! Quote
