The front power seat, passengers side, will not go forward or backwards. Every other function works (up, down, tilt forward and back, lumbar ). When I move the switch forward or back it seems to be trying to move on the right side but appears to be stuck on the left. The right side just bump moves.

Good afternoon.

It sounds like the track is jammed for the movement.

Check and see if there is anything under the seat that is jamming the seat.

As far as I can see there is nothing jamming it. However it is hard to see all of it.

Okay, I found a YouTube video for you of the replacement of the seat motor that has detailed instructions to remove the motor assembly. It is more than just the motor, it is the track screws as well.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
