seatbelt lock on 1999 boxster


Recommended Posts

Recently, I suddenly had difficulty getting my seatbelt to lock---it seemed as if the locking mechanism was jammed. My mechanic advised me that it needed to be replaced....I decided to wait before spending $ 275 quoted for the replacement.

Even though the seatbelt would not lock, the 'pinging' sound and light on the dashboard were still working. After about a week, the jamming released itself and now the seatbelt locks very easily and stays locked. The only problem I now have is that the seatbelt warning light and 'pinging sound' are intermittent. How can I know that the airbag release will work correctly if there were an accident as I understand that the seatbelt and airbag are connected?

Any help would be much appreciated.

There are quite a few threads about this subject if you spend a few minutes with the search feature of this site.

But in a nutshell I believe you just need to replace the sensor in the seatbelt clip and you are good to go (there are write ups on this IIRC

Let us know how it goes
