Unhappy OH MAN, i broke it!

while receiving her royal treatment, i was cleaning the leather seats behind the passager side...now the chair won't lock on the bottom.. it just keeps going back and forth between locking places. i don't know what it is, the handle release thingy won't move, there is nothing on the track, and um....well, i am totally clueless, if anyone can't give me any good ideas, i guess i am going to have to take the seat out and try to fix it on my own.

Kelli sometimes i don't know my own strength...

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Try putting the seatback forward then snapping it back again. When the seatback is forward, the seat won't lock to the track. Something may have gotten slightly "out of whack" when you moved it to clean back there.

Kelli,

Get a flashlight and look underneath, and see if there's anything jammed down there. I remember someone here that had a penny stuck somewhere that caused the same thing as well.

There is a little spring underneath the seat. You most likely unhook it while moving it around or broke it. Try to put it back on.
