Q: Why my drivers seatbelt automatic lock retracter isnt working?

asked by on March 02, 2017

When i put my drivers seatbelt on, the shoulder part doesn't lock in place at all. Even if i try to do it on purpose its still loose at the shoulder. Is that making my seatbelt light and airbag light come on?
