As far as I can tell the cable at the seat latch came undone.
The cable is connected at the key latch and moves when the key is turned. I took the pins and all the screws that I could get to, off.
I even took the Tail light lens off. But I don't know if I can take the reflector off without breaking it. I tried sticking a rod down towards the latch area trying to move the latch release with it but no luck. I'm not sure if it (the latch release) is below the plate that the latch sits on. I looked in the service manual and can't tell from their views if it is lower. My paper work is under there, so I really shouldn't ride because if I got stopped I wouldn't be able to give it to them. I may be forced to cut the rear seat up and buy a new one.
I would post pictures but there is nothing to see right now.
Any advice would be helpful. Could anyone photograph their latch area showing the release area really well?
I just called and a new rear seat is $170.00 !!!
