Give the button area a good smack! The mechanism is probably just stuck in place. Try rocking the seat back and forward while pushing it as well. It sounds simplistic, but usually does the job.

SOURCE: driver side second row seat will not fold down.

I had the same problem. The dealer wanted $400 to replace the latch. I didn't wnat to pay that much so I looked at it and found that the release strap was twisted and jammed in the mechanism. Here's how I fixed it.

I removed the screw from the lever and removed the lever. I pulled apart the plastic housing. It does not come apart all the way but enough to work on it. Pull the release strap that comes out of the back and pull it clear of the mechanism and straighten it out. slip the lever back on and the seat should fold. Fold it up all the way to make it easier to reassemble. Pull the lever back off and slip the release strap back into the slot and make sure it is not twisted or kinked. Snap the housing back together, put the lever back on, and screw it in. Test it and it should work fine. Hope this helps,

SOURCE: does my rear seat fold down in my 2006 ford f-150

Seat bottoms fold up.

You can remove the rear seat back, if that is what you are looking for. Just post a comment back.

How do i get the back seats down to gain access to the trunk? It wont open
1. You either have a section of rear seat that folds down or you don't. Most cars do and those vehicles will have a manual tab just behind the seat that is connected to a cable that will release the trunk lock unless the lock is broken. So check the top of your rear seat sections for release buttons that enable a section of seat to be folded down. Then look just inside the opening for the manual cable release.

2. If you have a car with no section of rear seat that can be folded down, you will have to unbolt the rear seat to get access to the trunk. You need to remove the bottom section of the seat first. This will just pull up from the front and you can remove it from the car. Then you should be able to access the bolts that hold the upright section of seat in place.

I have locked my keys in my ford fairlane ghia 2001 boot and the electric button dont work
There is a manual pull boot release you can use to open the boot. It is normally located just inside the boot behind the back seat. Your car has a fold down section on the rear seat back. Fold down the rear section of the back seat and you will see the manual release.

Locked my keys in boot and no spare key.its a audi a3 2006 2 door
You can remove the back seat and access the trunk from car inside. The rear seat is split 60/40 and folds down for carrying even more stuff. Push the backrest upper lateral button and fold down the rear seat backrest. Then go into the trunk and take out your set of keys.

I can't into my trunk there is something stuck therefore i need to fold down my rear seats and move it but i don't know how to fold them down I trie but i got nowhere
Be sure that your model has fold down rear seats...you should see the seperation around both rear seats...if equipped, the fold down release is located at the top corner of each rear seat...pull the lever up to release...if your model does not have the fold down option...you will need to remove the rear seat...remove the lower cushions first...look on the lower front of the seats for hold down bolts...second you will need to remove the top of the rear seat...hold down bolts are at the bottom of the top cushion...after removing the bolts (one each side) you need to push up on the cushion to remove...this will then allow access to the trunk...find the trunk latch and try to release by twisting the latch cable...Hope this helps...

Do my back seats in my 1990 camry fold down?
is there a button on the top of the rear seat that you can push down on?if you don't see any,that means that your seats DO NOT fold down.just to make sure,open the trunk and look toward the rear seats and see if there are 2 levers(1 on the back of each seat) that say lock or unlock.these levers are used to lock the seats in place so they cant be opened from the inside of the car.if you dont see these levers,then you really DO NOT have fold down rear seats.hope this info helps.take care and good luck, manny

How do I remove the rear seat on a 2001Volvo V70?
I am going to assume you mean the normal rear seats, not rear facing seats in the very back.
The rear seat folds down. The benches fold up from the back. When they are up you can see how to easily remove them if you want.
When the benches are up the backs fold down. There are levers on the top the slide forward to release them so they can be folded down. Tip the outboard head restraints forward by pulling their straps. The center head restraint has a button behind its right-hand support that you push to allow it to be lowered.
