LX 3rd Row - Manual Release?? (1 Viewer)

[Wes Gardner]

Hey y'all
Took ownership of an 08 LX570 yesterday and I've got a minor problem that I can't figure out... yet.
The passenger side 3rd row seat is stuck in the down position. My goal is to remove the 3rd row entirely so I'm trying to figure out how to unlock this seat to remove it without hunting down a possible electrical issue first.
Is there any way to release the lock on these seats manually?

Side note... I realize there is a fuse for the seat under the glove box (according to the manual) but I can't find the darn fuse box
**edit** found the fuse box and figured out exactly how far my back will stretch while laying upside down. Thanks Toyota

Nothing in the manual or a quick google shows an easy mechanical release. May have to figure out the fuse issue.

There's no beeping or anything when you hit the buttons?

Update: Never mind, it was the fuse. Should have checked that first!

Passenger side fuse box. 4th 30 amp fuse on left side.

Bringing this thread back to life. I’m Having the same issue, passenger side 3rd row is stuck on my 2011 LX. I took it out 6 months ago and just put it back in as I needed to use it. Driver side works fine. When I try to fold the seat down, the seat control computer beeps at me for 10s and then there is a light on the buttons that flashes. It’s stuck in the up position.

Anyone got any ideas? Obvi has power but not sure what else might be causing this. Do I need to put the plastic trim pieces back? It worked fine when I pulled it out. Thanks give mind!
