Functional Test - Retractor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The safety belt and retractor assembly must be freely operational for extraction and retraction of the safety belt webbing between full extension and in-vehicle stowed positions.

  1. Extract and retract the safety belt between the full extension and stowed positions.
  2. Verify the retractor operates without excessive effort or binding.
  3. Install a new safety belt buckle retractor and tongue assembly if no obvious concerns are noticed and the complaint has been verified.
