Default 99 24v wont start...electrical?

Truck wont start...

With the drivers door open I get in the truck and turn the key, nothing.
I turn the key back and a clicking sound comes from the ignition as well as the spot where the shoulder strap seatbelt enters the seat. The seatbelt is now locked and cannot be pulled out. If I close the door and remove the key the clicking stops and the seatbelt moves freely. If I put the key back in and try to start again, nothing. Pull key back out and begins clicking with the door open. If i hit the break pedal, try to adjust my seat, or try to lock the doors the clicking stops momentarily while the seatbelt is still locked.

Fuses are all good...

I have had this problem once last week, and dont know what I did to get it going again.

Anyone have any idea what is goin on? does the truck think I am in an accident and wont let me start it?

i am dead in the water...help!

Thanks for any leads.

-Frank

sounds like a dead or dying battery. the clicking in the seat is normal. that's the lil solenoid that locks/unlocks the belt retractor. it's doing this now cuz it keeps losing voltage. try a jump box or batt charger on high and see wut u get.
