Stuck seat latch

Lusiphur said:

Just as it says. I removed the seat and the key felt very tight for some reason. I managed to open it without breaking the key but now the latch is retracted and the seat won't lock in place. Any advice or perhaps manual help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

well that is a little new for what i know.
dual or single seat?
i would hit the seat with my fist(while turning key) to help my key turn easier .
on my dual seat i fixed the rear latch so it is always open so i only had the key latch to worry about.
if it is that hard you better fix it b4 you put that seat back on.

Dual seat. I wasn't aware there's any other latch than the key latch. It's the latch that retracts with the key. I'll try a rubber hammer while playing with it.

there may only be one on the late models.
see if your key works smooth with the seat not on there that will tell you if you have a problem with key or latch cable or just pressure or latch needs lubed.

The key turns altho with more resistance than I'd expect. I can also hear a sound coming from the right side of the latch, probably the cable moving but no movement or latch.
