Seat will not move forward or back - Maxima Nissan Cars & Trucks

on the same switch that tilts the seat, if you slide the switch forward or backwards the seat will move in that direction.

If the controls still work to move the seat up and down and the seat back forward and back then you've ruled out a fuse. The switch could be faulty, could be a broken wire to the motor or the motor itself could be bad.

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.

I'm having this same issue, I"m the only one who drives the jeep and its just an extra vehicle, really don't want to put that much money into it if I can just manually move the seat to the furthest back setting.

that is easy find the motor under the seat that moves the seat back and forth take and neg wire and a hot wire carefully touch the twoo prongs going to the motor after diconnecting the plug going into the motor. it sould go forward one way and croos the wires to get it to go the other way if this works get a new switch and have a working seat.

Try removing your seat bottom to access small motor that moves the seat,Tap on seat motors while holding seat switch in the forward position.

You can move the drivers seat back by turning on the power, getting in the seat and position your feet firmly on the fron flor with your back firmly against he seatback, and then engage the switch pushing back - while pushing like hell with your feet. You can actually hear the seat drive shaft turning while the seat moves back. The principle should be the same for moving forward, but pressure would have to be aplide to the back of the seat.
