Seat Belt buckle for NC

Postby cwto24 » Wed Jun 12, 2013 2:07 pm

Hi Guys,

My drivers side seat belt buckle doesn't release properly, where as the passenger side is fine.

Would it be possible to switch the two around?

Probably should be able to do it.

The plug from the buckle into the wiring harness socket might be different but I don’t think so. I’ve had both seats out and the plug appeared the same.

The driver’s side has one set of wires going from the buckle to the harness and another from the air bag. The passenger side has those two plus the wiring from the load detector in the base of the seat.

Have you tried some lubricant in the release mechanism to see if that frees it up?
