Our 2007 Yukon XL's third row seat is stuck in the fold position. We can lock it into place but cannot unfold the backrest portion. The lever does not seem stuck but it will not release the seat. Suggestions?

Your missing something's G-404 has nothing to do with it ! Seats - Third Row

has optional power fold down seats.
Third Row Power-Fold Seat CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the third row seat or the safety belts, make sure that the safety belts are not fastened when moving the seat to the load floor position. CAUTION: Make sure that no objects such as books, purses or briefcases are on the floor in front of the third row seats or on the seat cushion before lowering the backrest(s).
The third row power-fold seat consists of the following electrical components:
right third row seat relay.
left third row seat relay.
right power-fold seat motor.
left power-fold seat motor.
right front third row seat switch (if equipped).
left front third row seat switch (if equipped).
right rear third row seat switch.
left rear third row seat switch.
For the third row power-fold seat to operate, a shared ground is supplied by the body security module (BSM) to both of the power-fold seat relays, enabling the seats to then be moved by pressing one of the third row power-fold seat switches. The third row power-fold seat operates only when the vehicle is in PARK and the liftgate glass, liftgate door or any entry door must be open.
The third row power-fold seat motors transfer movement to a drive gear assembly to raise and lower the seat backrest. The power-fold seat motors rotate a short drive cable which is connected to the drive gear assembly.
The relay's are located in Aux. relay box #2
The passenger side 2nd row release lever is at the lower right corner. On the driver side, there is no release lever, just a pull ******** the center of the seat, that sometimes falls between the seat.
Call the dealership and ask them how to reset the electronic on your Ford Expedition after changing the battery. Anything else is happen? Maybe like the radio wont turn on, hit the turn signals and the windshield wiper turn on. ***** things happen after replace the battery. I know what it is, it the darn wigits. GB you....stewbison
lower the bottom portion, there will be two black cables. follow them toward the back of the seat, past a black round plate, where they become top and bottom cables. Push down toward the floor board on the bottom cable (my bottom cable is no longer black coated but rather a bare feeling cable wire). When pushing down on the bottom cable, pull the seat forward. As the seat does come forward the headrest will fold back at the same time. Not an easy find for me either, they should just make a release lever, but oh well..... I Hope this helps. Just keep playing around with those two cables until it finally does release.
i have a 2001 chevy tahoe, i don't know if it's the same but there is a cable that is attached to the bottom portion and sometimes comes loose. check for that, it looks like a brake cable for a bike. let me know if this helps.
