Afternoon all

I have a '08 HSE. Recently, the drivers seat has refused to move forward when using the electric controls or memory buttons. It now has about 1" of movement back and forward only. Up and down are unaffected and work as normal, reclining up and down is fine and also the lumbar support is unaffected.

Fine for me, but senior management is stuggling somewhat with the controls almost past comfortable usage and bordering on the dangerous.

Has anyone else has this issue? If so, any clues on what needs to be done to fix? I am hoping its not a replacement motor as that sounds expensive. I've had my head under the seat and applied appropriate lube to the sliders/rails etc but its not seemingly made any difference.

thanks in advance for any assistance.

Cheers

Check to make sure there is nothing caught in the runners which could prevent the seat moving.

Yep like a wine gum or an allsorts? or pound coin even exactly the right size to jam up the works

If are the seats with memory, then you'll need to reset them.
After the seats are stopping, keep the button again pressed until they start to move again.
Proceed in this way in both directions.

Thanks for the replies.

I've looked as best I can and cannot see anything blocking the runners. I will try the seat reset and report back but not too convinced it will work as the motor has started "groaning" when you use the switch to move it, doesn't happen at all on the passenger side so i am starting to think its the motor that's at fault.
