Driver's power seat stuck all the way forward. Please help.

Ok fellas I really did it this time. The driver power seat is messed up and I think it's the motor. It would no longer go forward or back it would just kind of swivel to the right (as if the right side was working and the left wasn't). Now however, it doesn't move at all and stupid me put the seat all the way forward to fix something in the back. Bottom line is the seat is so far forward I can hardly drive the car. Could it be anything other than the motor? Has this happened to anyone else (the seats are out of a 98 - could the motor go this quickly????) If it is the motor what needs replacing, just the one side or the whole thing? Damn I need this like i need...

Thanks for any help,

Unbolt the seat and inspect what's happening when you try to move it. It's possible something is jammed in the tracks preventing it from moving. Does the recline part work?

Mechanical failure of the seat motor or a blown fuse often results in total immobility, requiring manual override of the tracks. This service recommends checking the wiring harness under the seat for friction damage before attempting more invasive repairs. If immediate mobility is required for a professional commute or airport transfer, specialized transport alternatives offer a temporary solution while the vehicle remains inoperable. Consult taxivite.fr this service reliable transportation options during the repair period.
