Default Passive Shoulder Harness Quit Working

I had my battery disconnected for a few days while I changed out my fuel pick-up screen and fixed a heater core leak. When I put everything back together and fired it up, I noticed that my passenger side shoulder harness didn't move. It just stayed in the forward position. I checked the fuse and wiggled a few connections, but no help. It doesn't make any noise, so it's acting like the motor isn't getting power.

I'm not sure if this is related to the battery being disconnected or the work I did under the dash, but it's quite a coincidence if not. Is there something behind the glove compartment I might have accidentally bumped or disconnected?

my passenger side always is trying to moved backwards, regardless if its alreay in the back position and it kills my battery....anything to do with the passive restraints is under warranty so you can maybe take it somewhere. There isn't a jag dealer in tallahassee though so im up the creek. Have to find a bit to remove the seats and see if my switch is stuck or broken or something.

As for you...it worked before so something must have changed when you were working on it. if you did work under the dash something must have gone wrong, loose connector or bad ground or something..

Default Update - Fixed

So I took the panels under the dash back off and started checking connections. I couldn't find anything wrong, but when I tested belt operation after unplugging and replugging a few connectors, the belt is working again. Hopefully this is permanent, but I'm not holding my breath.

Normally when I fix one thing on this car, two others break. So far this time it's the A/C. Still waiting to see what the second problem will be.
