Saturn SL1 1992 Seat Belts Not Working
#11
I've been there done that, there is no such thing as an easy fix on seat belt problems. Mine went out under warranty and it was a $1000.00 repair at the time. The repair has held up. I had a second car that did not go out under warranty, it also did not get repaired. If my current Saturn goes out for a second time, it will stay broken.

I wish I had a better answer than no, but! No!. Other than trying to get it to move by brute force I don't think you will have much success in getting it into a position that the seat belt mechanism when belt is plugged into it. will be in a location that is convenient to you.
The belt is a cable driven beasty and some where the cable has become worn and frayed and is jammed. It is a complex cable path and although I personally liked the concept of them on both cars I had that it in it was prone to failure and almost impossible to repair and as to paying some one? You probably won't find any one that has a clue how it worked. I consider my self an accomplished back yard mechanic and there is no way I would even attempt to go after mine to move it should it break again. The best bet is to leave the shoulder belt unplugged and just use the seat. belt. As I remember the clip that is mentioned one came with the car (or 2) and was part of glove compartment stock and it shut the ding ding noise that says use the seat belt, off. Shoulder belts were not that popular when the car was new and it gave the option of not using it.
As I it here writing I do not remember if there was drivability problems if the shoulder belt was not connected. At this point in time, the shoulder belt mechanism still works with my car. I do not look forward to having to deal with it should it break again.
