They were convenient and so were found in many cars. However, they eventually lost their appeal as airbags became more effective as safety mechanisms. Automatic seat belts also had numerous mechanical problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A common issue with Toyota Camry automatic seat belts is that they can become jammed or fail to retract properly due to dirt and debris buildup in the retractor mechanism. Cleaning the retractor mechanism and applying a lubricant can often resolve this problem, allowing the seat belt to move smoothly and retract correctly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-1.jpg\" alt=\"Wrench next to car seat belt buckle\" class=\"wp-image-1515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20640%20427'%3E%3Crect%20width='640'%20height='427'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Wrench next to car seat belt buckle\" class=\"wp-image-1515 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-1.jpg.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-1.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-1-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, electrical issues can sometimes cause problems with automatic seat belts in a Toyota Camry.

Not only is this an obnoxious problem to have, often there is no recourse because replacement parts for these units are difficult to find. However, there&rsquo;s a handful of tricks you can do to help tweak the seat belts into working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The easiest and quickest fix for when an automatic seat belt gets stuck is to lubricate the whole unit. Detach the belt and apply lube to the track, cables, motor and belt mechanism. You can also try cleaning out the grease that might have accumulated over time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re brave or knowledgeable enough to tinker around with the motor, you can manually crank the motor so that it retracts the belt back into place. The motor is located near the base of the B pillar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toyota Camry Seat Belt Retractor Stuck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-3.jpg\" alt=\"Car seat belt\" class=\"wp-image-1517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car seat belt\" class=\"wp-image-1517 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-3.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-3-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-3.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When your Toyota Camry seat belt retractor is stuck, there are a handful of things you can do to fix it. The most likely reason its become stuck is because there is a jam somewhere in the retractor system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can try removing the belt mechanism to troubleshoot it. This often requires taking off a plastic covering, which can pried off with a screwdriver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the covering has been removed, untangle any belt webbing that might have become twisted. A pair of needle nose pliers is helpful in this situation. Give the webbing a good pull. The belt should retract back into its spool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A search and Google and YouTube will show results of people cleaning the actual seat belt. A partial disassembly of the seat belt mechanism will free up the webbing.  Warm water and dish soap can be used to wipe the dirt and grime that might have accumulated on the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Fix Toyota Camry Seat Belt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-4.jpg\" alt=\"Wrench next to car seat belt buckle\" class=\"wp-image-1518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-4.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Wrench next to car seat belt buckle\" class=\"wp-image-1518 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-4.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-4-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/KMA-Toyota-Camry-Automatic-Seat-Belt-4.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Seat belts get worn out in time through constant use.
