GL!
BTW from my 96 Bronco Workshop Manual = to your year
The Bronco has a fold-down rear seat. A rear seat back release latch on the lower right side of the rear seat is lifted to unlock the rear seat back frame. The rear seat back frame is folded to the cushion. A rear seat back release latch located at the center rear seat cushion frame (63160) is lifted to unlock the rear seat cushion frame from the floor-mounted rear seat back latch striker (62440). The rear seat cushion frame folds forward to provide a flat storage area.
All folding seats have a rear seat back release latch designed to hold the rear seat back frame in the normal position.
The rear seats can be folded down to gain access to the storage compartment.
If the rear seat back frame will not latch into position or the rear seat back release latch will not unlock, remove the side shield and/or remove the rear seat back cover (66600) far enough to inspect the rear seat back release latch. Replace defective components of rear seat back release latch.
