Finally a good answer to this question. I searched for a long time on different sites but could not find a satisfactory answer. I figured it out myself and here it is. The controller module for the seat belts are located inside the car. It is under the dash way on the floor in the middle console. How you can get to is: remove side panel closest to your accelerator with light on it which is held in by two plastic screws on the outside and a metal one on the inside. you will see a stack of different modules, it is the last box closest to floor of the car. It's black plastic relatively small and says Ford Made in Canada on it. There are two bronz looking screws you don't want to open those. Lift floor covering and there is a black screw holding the unit, open that one and do the same on the passenger side. Once you got it out make sure your seat belt position is where you want it. and take out the two plugs out of it and wala :)
Not if the servo motor is seized. It will have to be replaced.
No. It is not an interference motor, and it should not be harmed by the belt breaking.
yes. so suck on that
The engine in the Mercury Villager does not use a timing chain, it uses a timing belt. The recommended belt replacement interval is 105,000 miles.
There is no way to 'test' a timing belt. On your 1993, Mercury suggests it be replaced every 64K miles.
The timing belt has failed.
The Villager has an electric fan and does not use a "fan belt".
The 3.0 litre V6 engine in a 1994 Mercury Villager has a timing BELT
The 1993 Saturn 1.9 is not an interferance engine, and has a chain, not a belt.
There is a flat belt that moves the seatbelt holder. This belt has indentations on it that mate with a gear that is driven by the motor. Those indentations tend to wear out and cause the belt to not move or get stuck in the motor gearbox. The motor and gearbox are located at the lower end of the center collumn. If the belt is not moving through the gearbox it does not send the seatbelt holder all the way to the front of the car where a switch is located. If the switch is not activated the motor will not shut off. You need to replace the belt. I replaced the belt on my 93 villager and it is dam expensive about 50 to 80 dollars as I remember. I was mad about that but it was not available at an auto parts dealer and the mercury dealer was my only choice. Good luck. I replaced twice the plastic pinion located on the electric motor. In both instances, the flat belt was good.
i don't have an answer, but am wondering if you have found the answer. Answer remove the plastic cover ob the piller B. And disconnect the connection for seatbelt motor
The 3.3 litre V6 engine ( from the factory ) in a 1999 Mercury Villager has a timing BELT
