Clunk, But No Click.
My daughter has just phoned me from far away. She has recently bought a used Honda Civic, she is delighted with the car but says that both front seat belts have stopped engaging. I have said that the chances of both belts ceasing to engage at the same time due to to something mechanical in the buckles would be a million to one, so the fault, being common both must be related, and probably something electrical to do with a safety feature.
Has anybody any ideas what might be the cause please?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have a Honda Accord aprox 10 years old and if you pull the front passenger seat belts they do not lock or stop. But if you brake suddenly you can feel the belts lock so that they restrain you.
The belts in the back (all three belts are the across the shoulder type) lock in place as you buckle them and it is difficult to move in them I gues this is a safety feature probably designed for children.
The seat belts operation is part of the MOT test I believe I know they test the buckles and also if the belt coils up again

Do you mean the buckle is not locking the belt into place or the belt is running in and out freely? if the latter it could just be the angle the car is parked, if on a steep angle it may not lock until you move the car off, if it is the buckle device, I dont think they are fitted with anything electrical that could prevent from operating effectively.
