    Seat Belt Woes

    My passenger side automatic seatbelt seems to be broken. It looks to me like the cable that runs it broke. Does anyone know if the cables can be replaced like a DIY job, or do I need to get a new one? And what other cars can I use one out of? There aren't many MX3's around here, especially in the junkyards.

    the cable can not be replaced unfortunatly, the one in my EGT blew and it stuck halfway. u gotta pull out all the plastics and replace the entire track/motor as one unit. im not sure about interchangeablity but u said in another post that there are lots of escorts in you JY, try pulling one of those and swaping it in.

      well I just found out that the MX3 has a lifetime recall on the passive restraints so I have an appointment on friday at the mazda dealer to get them changed.

        I did the seat belt swap. Tore out all the auto garbage and swapped in the 94 mx belts. You can swap out with protege manual belts too.

          hmm, I might look into that, I just have to find a 94 MX3 though... Or a newer Protege. If the dealer will fix it for free I'm going to let them though!

              Oh I will, and then I might hold on to the other ones and sell them when someone needs a set.

                The dealer ordered the parts today, and they are going to change them for free when the parts come in!
