the drivers side seatbelt wont engage in my 99 discovery II. anyone experience this problem before? if so what did you have to do to fix it? i dont think its worth the ticket riding around with a seatbelt that doesnt click in.[:@]

 

get a light and make sure theres nothing inside the buckle, if not, sounds like youll need a new pretensioner

 

I had this happen on a old car that I had, if nothing is inside the latch, like a penny, paperclip,etc. Then you need a new latch. Sometimes the spring can go bad.
You can try taking a screw driver and sticking inside the latch and trying to jar the latch loose.
But most likely you need a new buckle.

 

I dont want to break it! looks as iftheres nothing jammed in there, so probly that spring u mentioned is shot. im not sure how to take the old one out after i get a new one...

 

It bolts to the floor of the trk. And there will be a connector plug for your warning light.
Unbolt the bad one from the floor, bolt the new one to the floor.

 

its bolted to the seat. there is a yellow sheathed connector that is for the gas charge in the buckle, not just a stalk, its a active srs componant, do not unplug it with the key on, give it a good 20 minutes of key off before you disconnect it too. and as always, be extremly careful when working with srs componants
