My driver's side automatic seat belt is starting to refuse to go back when I turn the key on. I think it is the door switch, since the motor still brings the belt forward when I open the door (after manually turning back the motor.) I've read somewhere that the belt controller might always be thinking the door is open, hence, the inactive seat belt.

I've got an appointment to get these fixed next week (hopefully with this lifetime seat belt warranty I've heard something about?) but in the meantime I'd like to have the auto belt just stay back on its own by pulling the fuse. My question is, which fuse controls the seat belt? They're not very clearly labeled, and I don't really have too much experience in this area.

Please help!

You're not going to want to pull the fuse as that would affect more than just the seatbelt motors. (gauge cluster... tcu... something like that... I don't remember) What I would recommend is disconnect either the motor or the front limit switch. Both are pretty easy to access and both will keep the unit from going forward.

It can't be the door switch if it waits until you open the door to move forward. A bad rear limit switch would cause your symptoms exactly, though.
