Need to know what year expedition ,does yours have Memory power seats ?
Driver and Passenger Power Seats
The driver and passenger power seat motors are hardwired to the driver or passenger seat control switches. The circuits are normally at ground through the seat control switch. The individual circuit is switched to power when the specific adjustment position is selected. Something jamming the track would not stop the seat from going up and down. Sounds like a power supply problem. Need to check fuse's F1.109 30 amp. in the central junction box. If the fuse is good check for power at the seat switch connector ,pin 7 Dark green wire. if no power there check for an open in the wire. If you do have power check the switch with ohm meter .

    Seat Track — Power WARNING: The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.

Get it serviced, the magic is gone.
complex seat parts.
or read the FSM on all those complex tests.
factory service manual, on topic, seats.

ask ford to fix it or buy the book, or get it serviced anywhere;.

SOURCE: The drivers seat is stuck.

I'm assuming this is a power seat. If so, there are separate motors that control the various functions of the seat such as forward/backard, recline, lumbar support, etc. It could be that the motor or an electrical connection to the motor for the forward/backward motion is faulty. Normally all of the motors would be on the same power circuit, so if some of the functions are working then it is probably not a blown fuse.

Just one other personal observation, I have actually seen an instance where some loose pocket change had spilled under the seat and a quarter had become wedged in the track that the seat slides in and had jammed the tracks so tightly that the seat would not move.

One thing to note is whether or not you hear anything when you try to move the seat forward/backward. If you hear a click or a buzz when you press the button then that could mean that something is physically jamming the seat tracks. If you don't hear anything when you press the button, then that more than likely means a problem with the motor or the electrical connection to the motor.

SOURCE: power seat issue

Get out your voltmeter, unplug the connection to the seat's motor, underneath the seat, and hit the switch. if youve got power going to the motor then youll need to replace the motor. If not, it's probably the switch. Also make sure the wires are not cut or damaged somewhere between the switch and the seat.

SOURCE: The electric front seats both stopped moving

Check the fuse box for a blown fuse, both seats may operate on one fuse depending on the model of vehicle and the fuse may be located either under the dash on the drivers side or in the engine compartment on the drivers side.

Power seat will only move forward or backwards on one side of seat, left side of seat is stuck.

I'd probably have to remove seat and check mechanism. I don't know if you can check seat mechanism w/o removing seat from vehicle? Maybe that one side jumped the rail?

Power seat

Most Fordicon1.png 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 besticon1.png 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.

Front seat will not slide forward? The seat will move up and down, tilt, and the lumbar works? Even the heated/cooling seat works? What do I need to look for and how do I fix it:?

The power seat in the truck has 3 motors, one of them is not working, the most common cause of this is the power seat switch is defective, it is often the forward and reverse seat positioning switch that fails because it is the one that is most used. If the switch checks ok then you will need to replace the the power seat track assembly, Ford does not sell any parts for the track, it is only available as one complete unit, I know this because i retired form a Ford dealer. Please rate my help for Fixya. Thanks

Airbag warning light displays on VW Touran - caused by moving seats backwards and forwards - is the wiring easy to access so that I can reconnect myself?

the connector you need to look at is fairly easy to access. look at the seatbelt connectors to make sure it did not come loose or out of is plug. if it has power seats move the seat forward and up to get the best access.
