Front seat I can not move the front seatforward so I can reach the "pedals" It is jammed way back. It willo move up or down however. Marje

Not an easy fix, plastic gears either wear out or get clogged over the years with dirt and lint. Whole motor assembly and track cost around $300 new.

Most Ford 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 best 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.

First you reach for the tab near the center of each "half" of the back seat bottom at the back (in the crack of the seat). Pull the tab forward and up, pivoting the bottom of the seat toward the front. Ensure the front seats are forward enough to allow the seat bottom to lie flat on the floor. Next, reach up along the (outer) side of the seat back, and lift the lever, while folding the seat back forward. You may need to pivot or remove the headrest(s). The seat back should lie flush atop the upside down seat bottom. This works for my 2002 Olds Bravada, which is supposed to be similar. Good luck!

make sure the track isn't jammed under the seat doesn't take much to jam it may have to remove it and check wire plug if that doesn't work probably going to be the motor in the seat

normally the seat tracks are bolted to the floor or riser. It is possible that when the seat was moved forward the track moved over the head of a mounting bolt and will not return. check for interference between track and rail while trying to return seat.

check for something jamming the track under seat , try havin son push seat forward while pushin switch . i dont know of a way to override the seat motor if its dead,,auto wreckers for seat replacement cheapest way to go they may even install

Reach down in the bite-line (where the seat cushion and the seat back meet). Pull up on the seat cushion until the cushion raises above the bottom of the seat back. Pull the seat cushion towards the front. There are two metal tabs that are hooked into the front of the seat cushion that holds it in place; unhook these by moving the cushion forward. To replace, reverse the procedure, but make sure the seatbelt recepticles are exposed before pushing the seat cushion down into the bite-line.

Look under if the seat carriage mechanism has jammed at the adjustment slot.
Use a good light to investigate , use some WD40 cleaning spray to the lock position and try to wriggle the lever. If must come loose once the sprray gets in.
Also you can try to move the seat slowly till it moves well on the rail. Use a hammer to tap at the base if there is rust on the rail that has caught on the seat frame.
Hope this helps

Individual motors for horizontal and vertical movement. Try moving seat while looking under at motors. Once you find the one that is not moving, try holding switch to foreward position and tap on motor with a screwdriver handle. This may get it going long enough to move so you can reach the pedals easier.

Just picking at you. It would have to be a bad switch. Forward and back are on the same circuit switch just reverses the power and ground to the motor.
