seat belt retractor problems

hello everyone !
I searched for any related threads on this problem and could not come up with one that answered my question. So.... here I am asking for some help .
Ok. my seat belt retractor stoped working properly.I have not had this problem in all the 5 years I owned this car.
The seat belt retractor has stayed extended and when the seat belt clicks it does not go back in, neither after a couple of minutes .

does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong ?

I also once forced it back in ,but when the door openned and closed again it extended out again and would not retract back in.

Thank you all for reading !

Check the pin switch in the door jam by pushing it in. The wiring from the seat belt receptacle may be bad, you can test it with a spare or take the time to swap L to R. It's also possible it's the relay at the end of the drive mechanism. You can swap the L to R to check them. If you have a bad one, I have a pair for sale...
