P1000m5 Bed won't release

[Welshman]

I went to lift the bed tonight in my 2016 1000-5 to check the oil and the bed would not release. It will release about an inch then it's like the safety feature for when you have the seats up catches. The weird thing is if you open up the passenger side rear door and slam it it will go up.
I had tape on the catches to help with rattles. Removed all that and it didn't help.
Any ideas? I did a search and couldn't find any thing on it.

Is something stopping your seat backs from going all the way down? Trash, Sand, Leaves, Sticks???
The safety feature are 2 levers in between the seats.
I put a piece of hose on mine, that gave it just the extra I needed.

First time I have heard of this issue! Possibly an adjustment? These may help!



Good luck!

It may be the safety latch for the rear seats. Are they up or down? Even if they are down, they may be catching preventing it from dumping. ???

Mine did the same thing. The bed was hanging on the safety net latch right above the bed. Look and u will see it hit the plastic buckle

Thanks all. I put the back seats up and then back down. Works fine now. One of them must have been hung up.

They can be a little picky. That's a good thing I guess.

Sometimes the simplest things can be the most frustrating.
Glad that it worked out easily.

I'm guessing those safeteys, prevents those in the rear seats from any surprises,when pulling a steep grade...haha

Mine did the same and I found the clip for the rear seats net was facing toward the back and catching the bed on the way up.

My P1-5 won't lift on it's own without a lot of help. The safety release is working, I believe the assist strut is blown so there's no assist?

And here's why, when you take the board the bed slams down.
