ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    Auto seat belts! Argh !!! Other stupid questions

    Recently purchased a 1990 Accord EX, 4 cyl. 5-speed. High mileage but cheap. Needs some work tho' and reading this forum has already answered MANY questions I had. Thanks very much.
    Didn't see this addressed. Problem- The '90 Accord has those damn automatic shoulder straps that even when functioning properly are very annoying. My driver side strap will actuate only occasionally when I shut the door. No noise from mechanism in door pillar like its trying but some gear or something is stripped. When it does work it works and sounds fine. I'm thinking it may be something electronic as opposed to a faulty mechanism in pillar. The switch on passenger door that controls dome lt. and "door ajar" indicator doesn't seem to actuate seatbelt there. Is there another sensor? Some computer problem perhaps? Any thoughts? Really tired of risking a ticket for no belt not to mention driving with flashing lt. and buzzer beeping!! If it is in the mechanism how do I attack it?
    I'd really like to retrofit with with later model NORMAL belts from the boneyard. Anybody tried this?
    Any thoughts on this problem would help. Thanks

    If you're near a Honda dealer, have them look at the seatbelts as they should be covered under a lifetime warranty. It's worth looking into.

    Oh yeah,

        even though the automated shoulder belts are annoying, they are one of the few safety features your car is equipped with since it has no ABS and no airbags. so if i were you, i'd fix the problem and leave them in.

        and you could probably find the parts you're looking for at a junkyard when you find out what the problem is if the dealership is a little pricey.

            Wow!
            Thanks to all for the quick replies. Contacted my Honda dealer and they indeed were happy to replace the lap belt recieving points (female ends) one of which was also broken as they were subject to recall. Weren't sure if they would fix the auto shoulder belt for free tho. Said they'd let me know at my appointment.
            One problem down! Thanks again for the advice.

              so long as there is no sign of tampering with, they should repair them for free.
              I haven't had any problems with mine yet so i haven't had to test this rumour.

              if all else fails, you could do a conversion to manual belts with parts from the PnP.
