I have an 05 Odyssey, until recently the 3rd row seats operated fine. The passenger side seats won't release to stow. there is tension on the release handle, I can feel what I think is the catch mechanism moving when pulled. Nothing seems to be in the way but is hard to see under the seat.

Has anyone faced this problem before? Trying to avoid a trip to the dealer for this fix.

Thanks.

Open the back of the seat and check the cable that controls the lock for the seat.

Honda Pilot has the same problem, this link will help you:

Did that remedy work? My 2005 Odyssey is having the same problem. I'm going to take a look at the link above but I worry that I will screw something up.

I do have an extended warranty still active but feel pretty certain this will fall under the overuse clause as they have already done this to me once a seat bolt that fell out of the front seat that cost me 50 bucks to repair.

Needless to say I was ticked off.
