At 11 am this morning, I got in the car for my doctor appointment and no
start. Dead battery. Those darn passive seat belts are sticky and the
passengers belt was probably not forward enough. Does anyone know at what
point the belt hits the switch. Must the belt be 100% forward to the point
it no longer moves? If that’s the case both my belts never reach the shut
off point.

I believe there’s a lifetime warrantee on this item.
Let the dealer fix them.

John,
Take the Fuses out for the Belts, then take it to your local Dealer,
they have to fix them for free…

John,
A shot of some spray lube may help prevent problems.
I give my tracks a bit of lube once every 6 months.
They operate much smoother and quieter after the lube.
The bit that retracts the belt (on the floor) can stick as well.
I lube that also.
