    Common for ours to not retract great, but Idk bout not at all. You could unbolt it and lube it maybe. I did mine, I don't remember with what, but it didn't really help.

    retraction spring can wear, slow.

    But if it really doesn't retract AT ALL - it' broken and you just need to buy a new one or find a replacement off a junker.

    Trouble with most trucks in a junk yard is - they've been in an accident, so using their seatbelts is sketch.

    as mentioned if it doesn't retract at all the spring is broken on it and you need a replacement for it, lots of people here sell leftover parts and you can buy one from them.
