How do you fix a jammed retractable seatbelt in 2004 Isuzu Ascender?

1. Locate the seatbelt retractor. The seatbelt retractor is located on the side of the seat, near the floor. It is a metal cylinder with a cable attached to it.

2. Remove the seatbelt cover. The seatbelt cover is usually held in place by a few plastic clips. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry the clips loose and remove the cover.

3. Inspect the seatbelt retractor. Look for any damage to the retractor, such as cracks or breaks. If the retractor is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

4. Clean the seatbelt retractor. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dirt or debris from the retractor. You can also use a damp cloth to wipe the retractor clean.

5. Lubricate the seatbelt retractor. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the retractor. This will help the retractor to operate smoothly.

6. Reinstall the seatbelt cover. Snap the seatbelt cover back into place.

7. Test the seatbelt. Pull the seatbelt out and let it retract. The seatbelt should retract smoothly and easily.

If the seatbelt retractor still jams, you may need to take your vehicle to a mechanic for further assistance.
