Pull off the panal that houses the belt and check for twisting or binding.
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.

The 1999 Ford Taurus does not have a timing belt. It has a chain that requires no maintenance.
Only the 1999 Ford Taurus SHO has a timing belt. The engine is built by Yamaha and NO it is not an interference engine. Replace the belt at 100,000 miles. All other Ford Taurus's have timing chains.
The Taurus SHO has a timing belt that must be replaced every 100,000 miles. All other Ford Taurus's have a chain that should last the life of the engine.
You do not need to replace the timing chain because there is no timing belt at all on Ford Taurus. It has a timing chain.
You have to install a new belt tensioner.
To re-install a belt tensioner for a 1987 Ford Taurus, tighten the bolt when the tensioner pulley is holding the serpentine belt tight. The belt tensioner sits in a slot and can be adjusted to hold the belt tight.
