95 E320 Wagon-Seat motor runs but no movement

My passenger seat recently stopped moving forward and backward. All other seat movement functionality works fine. You can hear the motor running freely, but the seat does not move. I tried adjusting the up and down movement, and the forward motion suddenly started working again...then stopped working again. This problem all came about when a very tall friend of mine was a passenger and moved the seat all the way back and all the way down. After that, I started having this issue.

I'm not familiar with the inner working of the power seats, but am guessing that a gear or sliding mechanism of some sort is stripped. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try the simple stuff first. Disconnect the battery, wait five minutes connect-----does the seat move fore and aft.-----if not, I would get it diagnosed, is it the motor, is it the control module bla bla
