Seat belt retractor problem

I'm just wondering..... the passenger seat belt on my wife's 2001 F-150 constantly locks up on her while she's wearing it and MAN does that flip her switches. It doesn't seem to take anything. She'll put the belt on ..... we'll drive half a block... and ka-bam it's locked up. When it does that it rides right against her neck and mama don't like that.

Is there any kind of maintenance that can be done to these things that might help that? It would be one thing if it weren't locking up at all..... but this one locks up all the time for no good reason. It's never been in a wreck.

If anybody has any ideas, thanks a bunch.

Bob

My wife absolutely hated that too so I ended up replacing the seat belt retractor. It works much better now.

I would try cleaning it with the old stand by (wd-40). My 2 cents.
