1990 Honda Accord - shoulder harness doesnt move

Two days ago the shoulder harness on my 1990 Honda Accord quit
moving when I start it. The owners manual says there is a way to
manually crank it. I will check the fuse. If the fuse isnt the
problem, how difficult is it to get to the motor ?

Wondering how long it will be before I get a ticket for no
shoulder harness.

You probably have a lifetime warranty, if you are located in America.
Book an appointment with the dealer.

Your car has a lifetime warranty on seat belt functionality. Free fix for
you at your local dealer. Do not try to fix it yourself.

 

What Curly said. My 91 Civic's shoulder harness ceased
moving c. 2001. Took it to the dealer and they fixed it
under the lifetime warranty. It did take them a week or some
ridiculous amount of time. One can see this coverage listed
in the warranty book that came with the new car.

 

Note that this permanenent warranty only applies to US-market Hondas and
Acuras.

Canadian-market cars are covered under their normal limited (3-year?)
warranty.

There is no law on either side of the border that compels automakers to
warrant restraints in any special way.
