Right seat inop

My right seat wont move forward and I need to remove it to find the problem. Any ideas about how to move it forward manually?
Or remove the seat cushion so I can access the motors?


Thanks

Everything else works, I'm thinking its the motor or the control module. I spoke with the dealer and they say the same.

I have never seen one go bad , but that is not saying much. Can you check the seat track for something stuck in it , like change or some other thing. Raise the seat as much as you can and give it a look.
If you can get your hand under there and feel the motor trying to move , that could tell you something also.

The motor gets a little warm but doesn't move. I'm fairly sure something jammed the track and burnt the motor. It's only 200.00 from the dealer but it's a pain to install.

if you can feel the motor click or try to turn on , it is still good. you will just need to find the object that is stuck in the track.

The tracks are fine, the motor's bad. One of those things, it's warm but it's not trying to run. I'll order one and replace when my shop has the time.
