Seat Belt control module in under the console needs replaced. Easy fix. See video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ce9FXSaCUQ

only one is locked, I would suggest that you place the seat in an upright position as straight as you can get it as if the retractor is sitting flat against the wall. This is the position when it was installed. Then try to slowly wiggle it out. If that does not work, then you will have to replace the retractor assembly as there are no serviceable parts inside
