Second row seat stuck on 2001 Tahoe

[BlueOrbit]

The left side of the second row seat back support is stuck in the upright position. It will not move down after the buttom cushion is tilted up behind the back of the driver seat. Anyone know how to get it to function properly?

Thanks...

This happened to mine as well. The problem is that the cable that trips the release has become stretched. Look down by the hinge of the bottom of the seat when it is in the flipped position. You should see a cable that goes to the bottom of the back of the seat. What I did, was move the flipped seat back towards it's normal position to relax the cable, remove the cable from the hinge area and tie a little knot in the cable. Now re-insert the cable in the hole and it should work just fine.

Thanks, that fixed the problem. Dealer wanted to charge $140 to replace the streched cable...
