Seat lock.

[GRIPMAN]

I went to the Corbin seat factory in Hollister, Ca. recently for a seat instillation, upon returning home, I discovered that the key will not unlock the seat or the fronk, any similar problems out there in Spyder Land and what was the solution?ray:

Try pushing down on your Corbin while doing the usual push/turn with the key to release the seat. It's possible they did not adjust the locking pin correctly. Not sure why the frunk wont open unless something got messed up a bit with the install.

I removed both the locking pin and the shock from my seat when I installed the Corbin. Since the gas tank door is on the side of the seat--no need to raise the seat when refueling.

I know it is a ridiculous question, but the two really aren't related...Are you pushing the key down before you turn it?

OK, the potentially embarrasing stuff is out of the way. The seat is probably a combination of things. If the latch pin is adjusted too short, the seat doesn't want to open. Press down hard wher the pin is on the right front portion of the seat, or slam with your hand, while the key is turned. If yoy get it open, adjust the pin and lube the latch. The pin may also be too far forward or backward. Tyry grabbing the seat and wiggling it while the key is turned.

As to the trunk, is there anything in it pressing against the lid? If not cargo, it could still be the wetaher strip that has come loose, or a trunk liner that is loose or improperly installed. Same cure...try to press down over the latch or bang on the lid while turning the key. A second person helps.

Two different release cables, different directions on the key, you have two problems, not one, unless there is a real odd problem at the switch.

Got the seat off by removing the rear bolts, observed that depressing and turning the key does not activate the latch and lots of slack in the cable, so I'm thinking that the cables are disconnected from the key mechanism.

Sounds like it. If both cables are affected, it is likely a problem at the switch. Sounds like time for a trip to the dealer.

:shocked: This would have been a system that the folks at Corbin wouldn't have touched; am I correct?

 

[ARtraveler]

Corbin would not have had to mess with the locking swith or the cables to the frunk. Just an adjustment, if needed, to the locking pin on the seat.

Removed the front console to access beneath the ignition key, discovered that the frunk cable and seat cable were disconnected from the key unit, reconnected and problem was solved.
