Let's see this practical guide to repair the lock unlock switch on the door compartment of a Seat Toledo (but also Altea and Leon): the specific problem is that the button gets stuck but does not unlock. The problem is caused by condensation and moisture that seeps into the switch, corroding the contacts on the small internal electronic board: it is a common fault in many cars of the V.A.G. group.

With a thin screwdriver, gently remove the switch from its seat in the door panel, then disconnect the electrical connector; always with the screwdriver, open the plastic case of the switch and separate the two parts. Inside we will find a small electronic board, which will probably be dirty and wet or with oxidation residues: take a cotton swab and carefully clean the entire board, removing any traces of moisture and oxidation, then reassemble the switch; reconnect the electrical connector and test the operation.

If everything is fine, we can reinsert the switch.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
