Seat belt buckle STUCK ** HELP 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be LJAM on  Thu Feb 14 06:01 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My buckle on my seat belt is stuck--female end-- The red button appears to be operable, but the buckle wont eject...so I had to crawl out of the belt!! It is been smoothly operating until now. I've poked around a bit, tried different angles to get it to eject, etc., to no avail. Any help appreciated.

    Push the male end into the buckle as hard as you can. While holding it in, push the red button fully. Hold the button and pull the buckle straight out. Make sure you pull it straight, or it will bind. Once you get it out, a little WD-40 or other light lubricant in the female side will keep it from binding again.

    If all this doesn't work, the release mechanism may actually be broken. Rare, but not unheard of.

    Good luck.
