No you cannot. The motor will not bolt up the same to the body. I tried using a motor from a four door into a two door and did not work. Those seat belts are just a big pain in the butt anyways. When I locked both of mine on my 95 LX Sport I left them alone.
At the base of the pillar behind the door. One for each side. You have to remove the plastic trim.
Buckle the seat belt.
it does not have one it is a fusealbe link wire under you hood.
Put your seat belt on. It's there to keep you from expiring.
Your limit switch is probably dead. The automatic shoulder belt has a limit switch at each end of the track. When the belt reaches a switch the motor stops turning. If the door is opened, the motor will keep turning one way until the front limit switch is pressed. When the door is shut, the motor will turn the other way until the back limit switch is pressed. If the front switch is shorted, then it's always telling the motor that the seat belt is extended. So the motor wont extend the seat belt at all. But if you manually extend the belt and shut the door, the belt retracts because the rear limit switch is fine.
it may just be stuck, or it burned out and needs to be taken apart. A dealer will charge you for electrical work use the emergency seat belt crank in the back seat near the door pillers should be an access pannel about the size of a silver dollar believe can be turned with an Allen wrench get it all the way back and call it good the motor for the seat belt is not a cheap fix
By the fact that you are saying that the motor makes noise, I am assum ing this is a power seat belt, like on an Escort? If that is the case, then the fact that the motor is noisy indicates that the plastic gear tape, that runs the legth of the track is probably stipped, and so the shoulder belt is stuck wherever it is, and it's not going anywhere. You fix it, by replacing the assembly.
The seat belt motor is located on the lower panel behind the front seats. Get in the back seat sitting it will be just above ankle height.
I have a 1990 acura integra with retratable seat belts. My seat belt on driverside will not retract to secure position. Seat belt stays in forward position. I replaced door latch thinking this might have solved my problem, it didn't. I then checked the seat belt motor located in back quarter. I did this by disconnecting power in wire coupler. I then connected power to the wire coupler connection to the seat belt motor. The seat belt moved back to secure position. I then reversed the wires to the wire coupler connection and seat belt moved forward. By using the separate power source the seat belt moved forward and back, operating as it should. I figure the seat belt motor doesn't need to be replaced as it works fine with separte power source applied. I am wondering if there is a faulty relay switch that might be causing my seat belt from working properly. If there is a relay switch where would it be located? Is there anyone that can give me information regarding my seat belt proble? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
My 97 has pre tensioners. I see no reason for the 99 to not have it. Do you mean the seat belt has an automatic retracton? If so, the answer is yes.
I just took one out of a 95 4 door Ford Escort today. I took the molding off around the track and motor then unpluged the wires at the top by the start of the track and one down at the motor. You will want to disconnect your battery before you do any of this. Then take all the bolts off with a socket wrench, theres some screws. After you pull the motor out there will be a small wire pluged in behind it, it pulls right off. Hopes this helps.
What kind of seat belt system do you have? Check your seat belt system, as my escort does this occassionally and it has to do with the seat belts not working properly.
