Why doesn't the rear seat fold flat?

It folds, but rises up a bit from the flat rear cargo area. Is this a design flaw, or is there a trick involved?

The thickness of the rear seat cushions makes for a compromise.

SOURCE: How do rear seats fold down on 2008 malibu

Open the trunk and pull one or both of the
handles located on the upper part of the
trunk opening. The driver’s side handle will
open the larger side of the seatback. The
passenger’s side handle will open the smaller
side of the seatback.

SOURCE: Cant fold down the rear seat in our 1997 Chevy Tahoe

in the middle of the seat cushions in the back of the seat there is a little loop, pull that loop forward and that will have the seat's bottom pulled down to the floor agains the back of the front seats. Next simply apply a lil muscle to the back of the back seats and the seats should fold down nicely into the open space. Be sure to remove the headrests so the seat will fold all the way down. post any issues u may have.

SOURCE: '07 Chevy Tahoe 3rd Row seat will not fold down

I have had this problem, and I am having it again. The problem is if a little trash gets under the bar in the floor, it will keep the mechanism from locking completely. I had tried everything. The only solution so far is the rock back and forth. Real pain. I am trying to find a secret release.

Is there a diy fix for a cracked 3rd row seat back on a 2013 Ford Explorer Limited with power seats? When folded flat, the seat back buckles with any cargo on it
Doesn't it fold down ? Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuit's with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? Viewing a wiring diagram to see what all is involved in making the seat fold is the first step in the diagnostic process . Has power fold - seat module (electronic module ) , third row power seat relay , fuse F22 30 amp located in the under hood fuse / relay box . The relay is also located in the under hood fuse / relay box , you could check those or swap other know good one's .. The switch is a input to the power - fold module , When the module sees an input it turns on the motor that folds the seats . Could have DTC'S diagnostic trouble code's stored in the power seat fold module.

Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size. Under system click on body & accessories ,then under subsystem click on power seats . Click the search button then the #4 blue link if early production , # 5 if late production vehicle . Do you know what that is ? early vs late production ?

If you do not know about these thing's ,suggest your best bet would be to take to a qualified repair shop.

Your missing something's G-404 has nothing to do with it !
Seats - Third Row
The third row seat:
  • is three-passenger seat.
  • a 60/40 bench seat.
  • folds down for more cargo area.
  • 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

How do i lower the rear seat in my 2006 impala
First fold down the rear head restraints by pressing the button on the side of the head restraint. Now you can fold your seat down in either of these two ways:
1. Pull the button on the top of the seat to unlock it from its position; you will notice a raised tab when the seat is unlocked
2. Depending on the type of seat you have, you can lower it by pulling a lever on the right side of the rear cargo area.
Remember, the seat belts should not be fastened when you attempt to lower the seat.

2006 Ford Explorer: Back seat won't fold flat to create flat cargo area. It folds down but not flush.
Okay so im just going to start from the seat being upright in a normal riding position.

1. You need to fold the head rests first. Pull the black tab under both headrests. They should spring into a folded position.

2. pull the side seat lever (on the door side of the seat). This will fold the top/back support down to an angle.

3. There is one more lever on the backside of this seat. Its in plain sight on the angled portion of your seat. Lift the big plastic lever.

4. While keeping the handle lifted, grasp the back of the seat and pull it torwards the front of the car. The seat should come unlocked and roll forward and down more towards the floor. If you have a bunch of junk on the floor, it obviously wont work. clear the path and the seat will fold completely flat.

Also, your drivers seat and front passenger seat cannot be all the way back, they need to come forward some in order for the second row seats' head rests to clear and fold flat.

i dont think they were meant to fold down but you should be able to take them out to haul bigger items. some of the vans they make are made that way so that you have to remove the seats rather than fold them down
