Default used seat belt locked

Bought a used seat belt from a minor fender bender s2 on the s2ki it's locked and won't retract any way to unlock it. I did bolt it in and plug it in.

did you bolt it in completely? They have tilt sensors in them and won't retract unless they are at the correct angle. so if you bolted it in 100% then i'm stumped.

Car accident locks them(in a front impact). It is useless.
