Default Seat belt problem after stereo got stolen

My Honda Accord 1990 got burglarized and the stereo got stolen. I believe the door was open, particularly because the thieves didn't do any "apparent" damage to get inside. Likewise, the stereo was removed without any damage to the dashboard. However, the automatic seat belts stopped working. Both seat belts are locked in different positions and the seat belt warning light is off, although it should presumably be activated as both belts are disconnected. Does anyone know why this is so and how I can fix it? I wonder if the thieves damaged the automatic seat belt system on their way into the car or whether the source is electrical.
Thanks.

check your cars fuses. if they cut the harness behind the stereo, it may have poped a fuse. tape up each wire induvidually and replace the fuses. this is just a thought.

i agree with him, they probably have snapped a couple wires while removing your radio, they couldn't have just removed it properly if they were jacking it.

Could the seat belts be tied into the radio harness? I know on some 90's civics that came with factory keyless and you wanted to replace the factory radio with an aftermarket you had to hide the stock radio in the dash some where b/c the keyless was built into it.

ya, the 95-97/98 civics had keyless built in to them. i am thinking the power seat belts are tied into the 12v constant wire of the radio.

Yea. I had my car broken into once. That was one of my most furious moments in my life when i saw what they did. I've had an alarm ever since and started parking my car in a better place. I had and still do have the insurance coverage on my car that covered it all except for cleaning up the glass so i could drive the thing home. If i ever see a crook in my car, there's no telling what i'd do or what would happen. Either i or they would get hurt.
