2001 toyota camry, the driver side power seat is in the back position and will not move forward, the motor seems to work but only one side is moving.

Yes, if you purchase a manual set is will bolt in just the same so long as its the same model and year as they do change from year to year.

Replace the motor that moves the belt in the track.

probably the switch-spray with wd40 or electric spray cleaner and wiggle it-if not gotta remove seat completely to check motor,etc

I have the same problem ? couldnt get your solutions, is there anyone who has a simple solution to do

It sounds like it needs a new window regulator.

I found this post area while looking for a way to fix my stuck 2001 Camry LE drivers seat. Sure enough, while engaging the seat motor (it could be heard making an initial clikc), I hit the front rails a coupel time prettysolidly with a rubber mallet. That fixed it!

Thanks to all for providing a quick fand easy way to get the seat moving again!

I had the same problem on my 2003 Toyota Camry. The threaded drive screws are what spin underneath the seat and cause the seat to move back and forth (same way a garage door opens or closes). When the seat gets all the way in the forward position, the threading on the drive screws ends, which causes the bolts connected to the seat to jam and get stuck. It should sound like the motor is trying to turn but it won't, it just clicks. Un-jam the bolts and rotate them one rotation from the all the way forward position to ensure your seat is reinstalled straight.

This is not necessary...as many have stated...use a hammer with switch in reverse position. Hammer the seat back...it will catch...

I just had the same problem. When the seat is powered all the forward, one of the worm drives reached the end of its travel and jammed against the threaded block that it passes through. To fix this the seat has to be unbolted and tipped back. There are four tiny 6mm bolts that hold the motor plate in. Remove these and the motor will come out. The worm drive is bolted in at one end and has a set pin at the other. Remove the worm drive and use a couple of vice grips or equivalent to loosen the threaded block from the worm drive.

Good day;
What year is you car? Does the other controls work for the seat? and just to clarify the seat won't go forward of back?


Cheers
