There is a cable under the seat that comes from the seat belt. It clips on and if it pops off as some do your seatbelts would not work properly. You can lift the seat up high in the rear and look for it..it is on the outer side of the seat on both sides. a clip hold it on..check that before you buy a new one..

My front drivers belt stopped retracting and I send it to a shop in SC that advertised on eBay. They rebuilt the mechanism for $60 (including one way shipping) and now it works perfectly. The place is called "Safety Restore" They rebuild seat belts and air bags. This worked well for me.
Eddie A: I did see the cable you mentioned. It was intact so that was not the problem. The coil spring in my seat belt mechanism was just worn out from 12 years of use.
