Interior problem
2004 Ford Focus

My front passenger seat belt retracted properly but not fails to pull back out for the passenger to be able to fasten up. The belt does not seem to be twisted; it just has no give and fails to pull back out. ???

Hi there,

Seat belts are not repairable, if the locking mechanisms has failed and it will not retract, you should have it replaced with a new belt assemble, never use a second hand unit as you do not know its history and if it has been over stressed in a previous accident.
