Drivers seat wont go back ...no matter what!
I have read and researched, and cannot definitively decide what is keeping this seat forward. It is clicking, nothing is in the way of the tracks...driving on dash is not fun.

Sounds like my head rest issue. I would check the motor under the seat and test it. When you press the button to move the seat, do you hear an audible clicking noise from the seat module?

This issue has been discussed many times on both forums...the easiest check is the old school "tap the motor with a wrench " tip....tap the middle seat motor (there are 3) while someone is pressing the seat adjustment...if that works, replace the motor asap (almost impossible to access when seat bolts are hidden and you can't remove seat). Have you checksed the fuses in the trunk?...if blown, also signal that motor is on way out.
