@@sabrinawoodard5788 try using the pull on the front outside part of the seat, it’s small, close to the door side, wear the seat folds. I had to pull that and the one on the back at the same time and was able to unlock the seat.
Thx looking to purchase a used 05 for my mother and the seat currently has this problem. Knew it would be a simple fix. I appreciate your video. Thanks alot.
Hi. This looks like a great fix, but my seat is locked in the down position. The strap won’t work so I can’t unlock it to lift the seat to fix it. Any suggestions?
We didn't know about the strap on the side thank you! But our single seat is the side that won't unfold...is that different from the other side as far as the mechanism goes?
Now I know how to access it! TY! But I have a different problem. My seat won't engage to go into the cargo area. The handle broke also since the van is older . So I need to replace the handle and try to see what is loose since it won't engage with the handle to flip it into the cargo area.
Hey, if you dont mind i have a question. How do I get to it if it's stuck down, yours was already fixed so it was easy for you to get to the other side,with it stuck down its impossible.
I did what another post posted. The hinges were just stuck with a bit of rust. I put a 2x6 in seat between back and bottom, son pulled strap and I pushed up on board and it popped right up with a little leverage. Cables were fine, it just rusted stuck a bit since been down for over 2 yrs.
In my case, the seat hinge seized up with rust, the result of an extended roof leak. So I inserted a 2x4 and pried open the seat while pulling the latch release. The tell tale sign was that the seat back rest had absolutely no play. The smaller seat that is working normally has a very tiny amount of movement when the latch release is is not pulled.
Hv a 2008 Honda Odyssey, hv same issue but with the left 3rd row see. (Single seat) The side strap doesnt work either. Ready to trade car in & now this. Thanks for the video tho.
Thank you sir, you saved me a trip to the dealership. Looking at all the other commenters, you're getting a lot of love here in the comment section, which is well deserved.
Easier fix if you don’t have the time or money to do all this... pull the release handle to bring the seat down into the trunk but instead of having it sink in the ground just bring the bottom up about halfway and then push the bottom back down and the seat will be able to go up and you can just put it back down
Both of the straps are not working, it I should stuck in a closed position so I can’t get the front of the plate, neither strap is working! Please help?... single mom.... they want $500-800 to fix it depending on what size wrong
Good_game_man 1 Working to fix my 2009 which may have a slight different mechanism on the inside. What I found is that I could put a screwdriver in the release after I opened the seat and that would allow me pull the release up and then move he seat to the upright position. I used a screwdriver so I wouldn’t get my fingers hurt in the release if I lost my grip. That won’t fix it, but it should allow you to get the seats back in a upright position.
YOU’RE FUCKING PANNING ALL THE MINIVANS THIRD ROW SEAT JUST OVER A FUCKING KID’S DEATH!!! HIS THIRD ROW SEAT FLIPPED OVER ON HIM BECAUSE HE DID NOT LATCH IT PROPERLY!!!
Thanks man. That second strap worked. You are a lifesaver.
So that’s great, but how do you lift the seat to get to the front to fix it? The problem is, the seat is locked in the down position.
Yep I have the same problem

I have a different problem, but you helped me understand how to gain access to the internals! Thanks!
Thank you! Just what I've been looking for.
Very helpful! Do you have anything on getting thereat leg to open?
I have a problem with the handle that releases the anchor, but your video will help solve that problem as well.
Thanks!

WooHoo! Thought I was going to have to wait another 5-6 weeks to have that seat functional. Thank you!
Thanks needed this.... only this is, if you can’t open it up, it’s impossible for u to get to the front of the chair
That’s exactly the problem I’m having. It won’t open - neither strap works - so I can’t get to front to fix! Ugh

Very thankful you made this video! I was at a loss untill I came across your video!
Thanks for posting this. I had the exact same problem. Fix took less than 10 min.
+Sam Park sorry for the late reply glad I could help
Both of my strap doesn't work
The seat still stuck

If the seat is stuck down, how can I get access to the front like your video shows?

Thanks because someone told me to go to to the dealer! It took awhile but the seat came up.
Thanks sooo much! This really helps. I tried everything but nothing worked. This fixed it!!
