2nd Row Seat Stuck in Folded Down Position

[Leaps]

The 2nd row seat is folded down and won't come back up. It's the larger seat of the 60/40 bench combo. I've tried slamming the seat down as much as reasonably possible, to confirm the seat is latched to the floor, but the back portion of the seat still gets stuck after only about 10-15 degrees. It won't come all the way back up. If I slightly force it after that 10-15 degree position I hear one click then it won't go anymore. So I have to place it back down. It's driving me crazy! any help would be greatly appreciated.



It's a 2016 Yukon XL.

I am having the same issue. I have looked all over for a video to fix it but no luck.

We ran into this issue again. First time the dealer replaced a cable. Before I take it back to them I'm curious if there is a video or isntrutions on how to take the seat apart a bit to see if I can just reattach the cable. I have looked everywhere (google, bing, chatgpt, YouTube), but no luck on finding any videos or instruction guides.

The one latch starts to move but the other one does not. The manual cable pull works, the lever works, the button works - just something internal is not giving it up. I also WD40'd inside those latches and it didn't give it up.

Sit on the seat towards the back until you hear a click then pull the seat up.

the universal fix for stuck GM seats is to SLAM that Biotch! 99% of the time that works, been that way for 25 years
