Our electric passenger seat is stuck or something, it will not go forwards nor backwards or up and down. The seat worked yesterday but not today. Please help
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.

hi,seat motor are in maximum length,try to seat,then apply force backward also the switch in backward mode.
SOURCE: Driver seat goes backwards, up and down but it won't go forward.
it could be the electrical switch that controls the motor, that is if there are two switches to the seat button which controls the motor.
SOURCE: passenger seat doesnt move forward or back
that motor has eithe become jammed or has gone bad. Sometimes u can replace the moor itself or you have to get a whole new seat sub-frame that has the motor assemblies on them already. getting the seat frame is the easiest repair as switching the motors can be time consumiing and difficuly if you loose a screw or washer.
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.
