Tres irritating issues w/ my '89 BII 4X4.

1) The seat belt likes to stay slack while I'm driving. If I'm in & out enough, eventually it just hangs down out of the door jam when I open it. I'm constantly having to tug on it to get it to draw up the slack, but two minutes later it's loose again.

2) A small handful of times, the AT gearshift(on the steering column) doesn't want to come out of Park. I'll start it up, step on the brake, and go to shift into gear and suddenly it won't budge, and it feels like I'm going to break something if I use any more pressure. Eventually I just yank hard and it pops into gear, but it seriously feels BAD. The funny part is, the other 98% the time it clicks into gear just fine, no excessive force necessary. I'm wondering if this in some way related to the 4WD?

3) Occasionally the driver's side power window won't go up or down. Sort of like #2, this only seems to happen every once in awhile. Seemingly on a hot day.

A little background: I just bought it from an old lady over the summer. Only 67K original miles! But that also means it did a lot of sitting. It was extremely well cared for, and had some body work done when the old lady hit the gas instead of the brake and drove it through the garage door.

# 1 .... try to lube seat belt retractor, otherwise need to replace.


# 2 ..... I would guess that this is the steering lock try moving your steering wheel back and forth a bit or ignition key or go up with the gear selector and then down, otherwise something in steering shaft causing it.

# 3 ..... is a wire not grounded out or touching but more than likely the switch just needs to be cleaned, use some steel wool or fine wire brush and clean the copper connection and put back in.

Hope this helps ya
