To repair a seat belt that does not retract, the first thing to look for is something that is stuck in the seat belt housing. Sometimes things can fall into this area and jam it up. Also check for a twisted seat belt.
I have a 2000 Ford Taurus and the driver side seat beat would not retract. I loosen up the trim that covers the seat belt thing and then the seat belt retracted on it;s own. I also adjusted the height of the shoulder harness. so am not sure which one actually fixed it. I am just glad it works because i have to get an inspection sticker and the seat belts have to be working . I live in mass.

To fix a Toyota Sienna driver's side seat belt that is stuck, you might need to pull the entire belt out slowly until it is completely extended. Then, allow the belt to retract slowly.
Try fastening the shoulder belt/seat belt. The 91 VW Fox has a starter disable circuit located in the shoulder belt buckle receiver located on the driver's door.
A Passive Restraint Control Module (PRCM) generally is usually a electronic component that activates a passive restraint such as air bags or automatic shoulder belts. For example, the PRCM in some models of Mercury Villager activates the front shoulder belt drive. When the ignition switch is turned on and the door is closed the door latch switch closes which signals the PRCM to activate the shoulder belt driver to move the shoulder belt buckle carriage from the front to the rear position. When the door is opened the door latch switch opens which causes the PRCM to activate the shoulder belt drive to move the shoulder belt drive carriage from the rear to the front position. Repair of PRCMs is generally not recommended for many reasons. Most are not repairable, and the consequences of a faulty repair could be fatal. In some cases a PRCM can be replaced by an experienced mechanic or automotive electronics technician with common shop tools.
As I understand it, there is a part of the seatbelt mechanism that works in tandem with the airbags in the event of a crash. It may be very problematic or even dangerous to try to repair this one yourself.
