If you mean that the buckle won't lock into the latch, or receiving part of the seat belt mechanism, yes. The latch probably needs to be replaced, but I would recommend having the dealer replace it so that the torque specifications and legal obligations are met. You might have something in it that could be cleaned out with compressed air, but you want to make sure it locks securely in the event of an accident.

Driverside seat wont move ,stuck in farthest back position

The fuses for the seat are shared with other features on the car such as power antenna. Has any other power feature gone off as well?
Check the runners the seat slides in. There might be something trapped in there blocking the running action.
There are two fuse boxes. One under the hood in the rear drivers side corner, under a black plastic cover. The other is inside the car, inside the end panel of the dash. (With the door open).
Check fuses 1 and 18 as they cover the power seat functions.

Maybe you problem is with the switch, or check if power seat circuit has the regular fuse or rather one of those thermal ones.
Passenger compartment fuse panel
The fuse panel is located on the left hand side of the instrument panel facing the drivers side door.

It is a very plain code it has something to do withthe drivers side seat belt buckle. Either out of range short to power or ground etc. Need a more specfic code to pnpoint exact problem but I can tell ya it is in your drivers seat belt connection somewhere

1999 Dodge 2500 passenger side seat belt wont release

so after completely tearing the seat apart I found 2 wires going up to the seat belt mechanism from under the seat, these wires got caught in the seat mechanism underneath and were shredded. There must be a small solenoid inside the seat belt mechanism because I could hear it click after I repaired the wires(this circuit is live even with the ignition off) Im not sure how it all works but this solved my problem.
