How do you fold down the back seats in a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo?

Answer 1

I have a 95 blazer and the passenger side back seat has more than once refused to go down.

There is a thin cable inside the back of the seat and is supposed to hook and secure by means of a small ball at the end of the cable into a slot on the back of the seat located under the latch that you pull on to lower the seat. The cable slips down inside of the back - but unfortunately I haven't figured out how to get to it - except to take it to a dealer - which I don't do anymore.

You will probably have to remove the seat back cover. It is close at the bottom with a "J and arrow" or two j-straps. I would begin by taking those apart (use a screwdriver to help). See if you can feel around and figure out the problem. It you have to take the trim completely off you will need to remove the headrests. Good luck.

In some cases the seat will get jammed and you have to push the seat back then pull the handle

Answer 2

In the trunk of the car there should be 2 straps that hang down from the top that you would pull as you push the seat down. If the straps are missing, you would have to get to the latches from the inside of the trunk to get them to release.

Answer 3

There is a pair of straps or hand holds in the gap where the seat belts come out on the seat portion, give each one a quick jerk and the seats will flip forward. Then pull up on the release button on the outer edges of the seat back to fold the seat back down

Answer 4

if you look in the middle on the back of the seat at the top pull up and pull to you it should fold down
