1995 toyota avalon power seat wont move forward

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.

Switch ignition ON and OFF once to program a remote transmitter code while retaining the original codes or twice to program a remote transmitter code while erasing the original codes. three times to check how many remote transmitters are currently registered, or 5 times to erase all registered codes.

Well what I saw when I pulled my seats out of my 97 LC was that the worm gear on the bottom of the track had lost some tread.  (its plastic)  also, there is a cap that screws in to the end of that gear to hold it in place, so when you reverse the seat, the gear moves if that cap falls out of place ----small plastic cap fell out in mine.  The whole rail system is like $300 at Toyota but i found a website that sells the cap and the gears for $20.  I will try to post it tomorrow-for the time being, you can take the seat out -be sure to unplug the electronics, and use a wrench to manually move the seat back and then put it back into place

try tapping the motor that runs the seat back and forth.sometimes the motors get corroded if they are not used often enough.

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