Seat - Manual Adjuster Does Not Unlock

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Problem	Action
The locking wire is too loose or is disconnected.	Tighten the locking wire enough to allow the locking bar to disengage from the lock slots in the adjuster lower channel when the lock control lever is activated.
The adjuster locking bar is sticking or binding.	Lubricate the locking bar pivot. Eliminate the cause of the binding. Replace the seat adjuster. Refer to Seat Adjuster Replacement - Front (Manual) or Seat Adjuster Replacement - Front (Power) .
