I used to have a 89 t-bird and it had the auto seat belts too. i told a friend about it and he fixed it for me kinda. he shut the door where the seat belt is in the on position and he took out the fuse or unhooked it from the track any way i didnt have to worry bout any more and im not sure what he actually did.

...and now for a coherent response. The Tempo seat belts run on a plastic track that binds up as the casing cracks with age. This is the likely cause of your problem. The only way to fix it and make it work as intended from the factory is to replace the track which is about $75.00 each from a salvage yard. You can, if you like, unplug the motor,it's in the door pillar on sedans and next to the rear seat passengers on two doors. This isn't an official fix, but it will lock them in position and you'll have to operate them manually. If they're the kind without a release as some tempo's were you'll have to spring for the salvage yard fix to make them legal.
