VEHICLE HAD NO RUNNING LIGHTS. CHECKED BULBS AND FUSES OK .VAN WENT TO CHEVY DEALER WAS CHARGED 100.00 CHECKOUT FEE. THE DEALER FOUND NO GROUND FROM BCM . THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 752 55 TO THIS POINT FOR THEM TO RUN AN AUXILIARY CIRCUIT TO FIX OR IT WOULD COST 1200.00 -1500.00 TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR. I WENT WITH THE CHEAPER OPTION. I DO BELIEVE NO RUNNING LIGHTS ON A VEHICLE WOULD QUALIFY AS A SAFETY CONCERN.
DRIVER'S SETABELT LOCKS UP, PREVENTING THE BELT FROM BEING DRAWN OFF THE REEL. THIS PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM USING THE SEAT BELT. THE ISSUE OCCURS WHILE THE VAN IS PARKED AND STATIONARY, REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GIVE SLACK ON THE REEL AND EXTEND IT ARE UNSUCCESSFUL. THIS IS THE THIRD CHEVROLET EXPRESS VAN MY COMPANY OWNS THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.
