'64 Valiant Convertible, Chrysler Sebring seat install
I started working on mounting these seats, but noticed right off that the while driver seatbelt works fine, the passenger belt was locked, it would retract, but not pull out.
What I thought was a seat belt buzzer/warning turns out to be a solonoid connected to the airbag/G-force controller module. Apparently it's supposed to lock if the airbag is deployed or 0.7G is sensed.
Applied 12V to the wires and it released the belt. The belt will lock tight if pulled quickly, like your torso going forward, so still fully functional.
I wired it through a fused relay that is activated by an accessory hot lead . I also used the same relay activated power lead to wire the power driver seat. Both leads use an SAE connector that can unplug to pull the seat.
