Thank you.

Yes I still have the problem. It's definitely unlatching the left side, but the right side stays latched and the #2 handle stays up, but the seat will not tilt. When I push the whole seat back down it clicks back in place.

It's the 3rd row bench seat. Just like my other one which never failed!

Best guess is something in the release cable has slipped and is not unlatching.

I think you're right on. I got the material off underneath on one side and can see the cable, but can't really get to it. Does anyone have a diagram of the cable system of the seat?

Did you get this figured out? I have owned my suburban just over a month & I cannot get the back seat to flip up. I really want to vacuum under it & just know how to use it invade I need to remove it. It folds down fine & I hear something when I pull the 2 lever but nothing happens & won't budge. Please help!

on my 2001, while standing behind the truck...there's a lever on the right side on the bench seat, lift the lever and the seat back folds forward. With the backrest folded down, there is another small lever that you lift on and then there is a nylon loop peeking out under the center area; with the seat up pull the nylon loop (that allows the front locks to release, as you're pulling the loop, pull the seat towards you...and it can be removed...these steps are what my 2001 suburban uses

Thank you, sorry I didn't mention I do have it folded forward. Lever 1 works fine but lever 2 does nothing. I don't see a nylon loop? I've felt around as much as possible under it but can't get my hands very far.

Do you have an owners manual for your Suburban?

Yes I do, I did look in it before asking on here. The steps are pretty obvious, since the levers are numbered. I just don't know how to get it up since it seems whatever unlocks with lever 2 isn't working.

Maybe you mentioned it already, what year is the truck?

It is a 2001. Lever 1 works perfect lever 2 will lift up but seat doesn't budge, not even a wiggle.
