flip the 40 side forward, then release the seat back on the 60 side so you can get behind the seat. Place a small shaving mirror on the floor under the latch and use a screwdriver to push the latch up. After the seat released you find out that there were 2 latches on the 60 side, and the one over by the 40 side must have been caught on something. You should now open and close the seat a couple of times.
Check down in every pocket the locks into. cold be obstructed. If they are clear, you also need to lube the latches at both sides. If it still wont budge, it needs help with a pry bar, one side at a time going back and forth.
Most Ford products are designed so the seat belt latch by the center console moves with the seat. The bottom of the latch rides on the seat rail, and with time sometimes it builds up a little play on the rail. As the seat moves forward or back, the seat belt guide often tilts forward or back, just a bit, on the rail, and gets stuck. So you can move forward or back just a bit, but then it jams and you can hear the motor, but can go no further.
The long term fix is to remove the seat, disassemble the seat belt guide and rail, and usually replace some parts.
But the short term solution is often to simply hold on to the seat belt latch and rock it forward and away from the seat as you try to go forward or back. Or, sometimes it works best to rock it backwards and away from the seat as you try to move forward or back. It all depends on which way it is binding.
There's no guarantee that it won't jam again if you move it all the way back or forward, but once you find the right position to hold the seat latch in while moving the seat, you should be able to re-adjust it where you need it to be.

does the key turn the trunk lock?if not theres one issue right there.the other may be that the valet lever on trunk latch assy. may have inadvertantly been engaged if deck lid was slammed closed.the release solenoid will make noise when activated by fob or lever in car but because of valet being engaged cannot release latch.does key unlock glovebox?if not this may also be a valet key cut.contact nissan dealer to cut regular key.ive seen the slamming the deck lid scenario a million times as the valet lever takes hardly any effort to engage.good luck and let me know how you make out.
Hi, I don`t know the car but sometimes when you can`t open a boot lid someone need to push the boot lid down ( this relase the pressure of the latch system)and the same time someone pull the handle. Hope that helps.
you have to re set the system
one by one seat & windows
1st start with the driver seat move it all the way forward and all the way up and the back as will all the way forward than to the back all of them one by one
do the same to other seat it will work
and the windows as will
close the door take the window up and hold till you hear a sound and down and hold till you hear the sound .
