Seat belt Solenoid Clicking
Hi All,
Searched the web but most people with seat belt problems are just having them get stuck fully retracted. However, for me whenever I am applying the brakes I hear clicking within the seat belt re-tractor which I am assuming is the solenoid. What can I do to fix this because its extremely annoying?
Thanks,
Patrick

When I apply the brakes it will click over and over while I am braking, not just once when I apply. Looks like I'll be tearing the seat fabric off to look.

Found the issue, its within the module under the seat. I tore it apart and there is a little metal ball that must connect and disconnect the circuit in case of a rollover. I am guessing the spring or whatever keeps it not so loose got wore out and the ball was just bouncing around locking and unlocking the seat belts constantly in my truck. I taped the ball to the unlock position and the seat belts still lock if tugged quickly and is within the white box pictured below. Use this method to fix clicking solenoids under your OWN risk since this is tampering with the safety controls of the vehicle.
