SOURCE: power seat moves on 1 side only

Look very careful inside the track and see if anything is interfering with the gear mechanism. It doesn't take much to lodge in there and cause the gear to lock up. If everything is clear, there is a cable that attaches the motor to the gear, that cable may be stretched or broken.

SOURCE: Driver's seat unable to move forward or backward

There are plastic gears connecting the track to the seat assembly. Whne one of these strip the seat will only work or move to one side. Infiniti does not sell a simple fix. You are looking at buying an entire seat assembly complete with the module for all the electronics. It will be at a cost of around $950 - $1000. Once that is in, Infiniti must program the seat to the brain of the car, only then can you reset your memory settings.

SOURCE: Instructions to remove Driver Seat and replace the drive cables for the seat movement.

Is this easily done? Seems simple enough but worried I won't be able to get the seat back in place...

My drivers side power seat moves slides back and

No the adjusters for power seat are made from some steel and a lot of aluminum parts. Replacing the seat tracks are your only option to be safe for they are riveted together

03 Ford up and down in power seat

Had this same issue with my 2004 Expedition. I removed the seat, seat motor and seat track. I tested the motor by plugging back in but without the track and was spinning freely. Took the track to the Ford Dealer. Was able to speak to a service tech. Said it is not the motor it’s the track, it gets stuck if you move to the extremes of the up or down. It’s like over tightening a jar stuck and unable to open again. WHAT TO DO: there are to impellor rods the spin on both sides of the motor. The rods look like wound up springs. Reconnect the rods back in the track. Use your Electric drill to hold the other end of the to break free the stuck track by spinning the impellor rod. Do this for both side. make sure to align the rods properly before return the motor. Also, try not to fully extend the power seat to the very up or down of the track. This will keep from causing the stuck jar effect. ONE and DONE.. Hope this helps.

The front driver seat on 2004 Camry is stuck

Perhaps an item got caught under the seat and possibly affected the linkage wire between rail tracks.A small linkage wire trips the console side track.Without this,that particular track will not disengage.Look under the good working passenger side seat and you might notice this linkage wire.It will then give you an opportunity to see if it works well on the inop seat. You can pull that wire(or trip that linkage arm by hand if you are in a dilemma and need the seat moved in order to drive but use caution on these moving parts and dont get pinched.

94 silverado driver seat stuck

Go under the seat and check both slide tracks for anything jamming it up...I've removed gloves, socks, candy boxes etc from tracks. Also if its not a power seat, check that when you move the release lever it is connected by a stiff wire to the opposite side. That wire releases the right side track. If broken or stretched, it wont.
