...experimenting with the seat belt retractor on the driver side, when the pin is pushed in, the seat belt retractor spins freely. When the push/pull button is pushed in, the seat belt retractor clicks. But messing with the passenger side retractor, I could not see what affect it had if the button was not pushed in [other than the clicking noise]
My questions:
1. On the 88 Cougars and any other car that has this design, what is that push/pull button for when it comes to the retractor assembly?
