You should disconnect the hose going to it and plug its' end, if it cures your seat lock problem then that was it! If you want to diagnose the valve, disconnect the hose coming from it that goes to the rear headrest locks, connect your MityVac to the valve's outlet and observe the gage. There should not be any vacuum at the valve's outlet, operate the dash switch which should energise the valve and you should see vacuum at its' outlet.
