rear seat doesn't fold

[JesseJames1956]

I ran into a problem with my rear passenger side seat on my 2005 H2. The back doesn't fold down at all. The floor seat comes up and there is pleanty of room for it to unlock. But the rear back doesn't fall forward. Is there a release lever of some kind? Any ideas??

[Easy Ed]

The two yellow dots are showing two levers that should un-latch the back when the seat is raised up. When the seat bottom is raised it "pulls" on two cables that run back to the levers pulling them (levers) forward and un-latching the back.

Hope it helps, Ed

also try moving your driver/passenger seat forward some. if i have my seats all the way back my rear seat will not fold down.

It is also possible that yours did what mine did. Mine had one of the cables break inside the framing, so it looks like it is attached on both ends, but the systme does not engage on one side when folded. With this, you just have to manually engage the one that did not move when you are going to fold the seat down.

The photo that Ed posted doesn't look like the underside of my H2. Maybe his H2 is an earlier model. Mine is a 2005.
How would you manually engage the the release? I only have a release on the left side and when the seat is pushed forward, it doesn't move like the driver's side seat release with the cable attached. I will attach a photo later.

oops, mine is a 2003, sorry for the confusion.
