Very doubtful, but depends on the type of short and length of time the defective unit was trying to be powered.

Would have to have specific model number and type of car followed by the electrical system to see how current was processed through such system.

*Even if the unit was powered while driving the alternator would be charging the system. If the module was powered constantly even when the car was turned off, but I would not understand why it would be made this way but is a possibility depending on the type of short circuit -- then it would be possible to drain the battery if left in this state for a few days, exact time would depend on current draw and type of battery.

One line in the service manual describes how the restraint cable must be lubricated regularly. Failing to do that the restraint system will do exactly what you describe. You can TRY lubricating the track, but it probably won't help now. If that doesn't work for you, your options are: replace the track mechanism or disconnect the restraint system.
