DRivers seat stuck

Anyone ever have a problem with the drivers seat not moving. The back moves back and forth and the seat moves up and down. It is in the furthest back positon and I can't move it forward. All it does is click. My wife can't drive it right now cause she can't reach the pedals.. (might not be too bad)lol... Think maybe somthing is stuck in the track?? I was going to remove it but one of the bolts is hard to reach with the seat all the way back.

1. coins or other object in track
2. broken switch
3. broken motor

it clicks so i assume that means the switch is working....probably something in the track. dont keep trying because it will burn the motor out then

usually if something is stuck in the track you can see it--but if its clicking and not moving there could be a problem with the worm gears. there is a bulletin for the seat motor--but that might not be the problem in this case. we have seen a lot of problems with the 2k2 and 2k3 drivers seat motors. I couldnt tell you what it is with out lookin at it, but depending on you cars mileage--you could take it in---its a bulletin so if your car still is under warranty they will fix it for free if it isnt warranty then you have to pay for it--and the kit is kinda pricy--but what part isnt from Nissan

Mines does that, are you a big man? Well, I'm kind of am and mines get stuck, what I do is while sitting in the sit push the button forward while trying to scoot the sit forward as if it was a manual seat. It works everytime for me.

Mine did this and it was the motor. I replaced it myself. Not that hard, but the damn thing was expensive. Like 180.

Did you have to remove the seat to change the motor?
