A common fault with Odyssey seats - the cable ends break. Here's a good tutorial video on youtube on manually releasing the locked seats and how to fix it -
Honda Odyssey Stuck 2nd Row Seat DIY Repair Fix

There's a pull strap release by the seat belt receivers. You give it a good tug and the seat folds up toward the floor space... then you can fold the seat back down flat !! Hope This Helps!!

You will need to take the seat apart to determine what is not fastened to release it.

after spending an hour or so, with your hands, arms, fingers and lower back aching....you will kick yourself if the solution is just THIS easy. Trust me, we speak from experience!!

Many times, the rear seat in the van is folded and down in the well compartment,and for the life of you, it wont come up. The problem, you may think is because, like us, you were a dope and let the strap fall to the bottom and you can't leverage it up. or maybe you spent an hour online praying and searching for a solution; only to find NOTHING! ha. well, we thought about setting up a fee for this, but, na, we thought it would be nicer to just list the easy solution for FREE!

ok, here it is....many times what you think is folded and down....is NOT REALLY fully down. if it didnt CLICK down, it aint down. which means its "ALMOST" down. so dont beat yourself pulling UP on it if its not YET DOWN!
solution: climb in and onto the 'down' third seat, and jump on the mother F*&^^R, and you will hear a soft 'click'.
NOW its "DOWN".
all you have to do is simply, effortlessly (strap or NO strap) lift that damn third seat up.

Yes, its that easy.
AND....it may just save your MARRIAGE!

shucks maam, thanks is all i need! :)

first fold them flat then pull the handle which will release the rear bottom brackets and allow you to pull back and lift the entire seat out of the van....both seats.
