Most Ford products are designed so the seat belt latch by the center console moves with the seat. The bottom of the latch rides on the seat rail, and with time sometimes it builds up a little play on the rail. As the seat moves forward or back, the seat belt guide often tilts forward or back, just a bit, on the rail, and gets stuck. So you can move forward or back just a bit, but then it jams and you can hear the motor, but can go no further.
The long term fix is to remove the seat, disassemble the seat belt guide and rail, and usually replace some parts.
But the short term solution is often to simply hold on to the seat belt latch and rock it forward and away from the seat as you try to go forward or back. Or, sometimes it works best to rock it backwards and away from the seat as you try to move forward or back. It all depends on which way it is binding.
There's no guarantee that it won't jam again if you move it all the way back or forward, but once you find the right position to hold the seat latch in while moving the seat, you should be able to re-adjust it where you need it to be.
SOURCE: front driver seat will not slide forward but the
hi when the you recive the power to the switch then is not the fault of the fuse.the fuses are in goog condition.

1.faulty switch,
2.the wire connecting the motor may be chopped off
3.terminals connecting the motor may be lose
if my answer were useful to you please vote me.
SOURCE: electric seat motor switch...no move back
Cross the wires...from the switch to the motors...since the switch works one way, but not the other. Instead if cutting cable/wire, try a jumper (another wire) and cross the connection at the plug to the switch. I have same problem...I reversed switch as mentioned above, to move seat back.
