Why does my seat go back but not forward?

Why does my seat go back but not forward?

The seat may not move forward or backwards, or in any of the directions it is meant to move. If the seat is not moving at all, check the fuses to see if they have blown. If the fuses are still intact, contact a professional mechanic to replace your power seat switch so you can be seated in the proper driving position.

Why does my car seat not move forward or back?

I am not sure if this is by design or if it means the motor is burnt out. By comparison, if I push the switch on the passenger seat, the motor will continue to move the seat forward or back until I release the switch. It does not cut off after two seconds by itself.

How does a power seat move forward or back?

When I remove the motor from the mount, and pull these rods out of the IMS GEAR boxes and turn on the power, the rods spin around very rapidly for about 2 seconds and then the motor shuts off by itself. They will rotate both forward and back depending on which direction I push the switch on the seat.

Why does my drivers side power seat not move?

It does not cut off after two seconds by itself. Furthermore, when I mount the driver side seat motor back onto its bracket, and put the rods back into the IMS GEAR boxes, the motor “sticks” when I turn on the switch.

Why does my power seat move forward but not back?

Check for power and ground to the motor while using the switch; if they are available upon command, then the motor is faulty and in need of replacement. However, since the motor moves the seat forward and only needs the voltage reversed to move the seat in reverse, I suspect the switch is faulty and will need to be replaced.

How does a car seat move back and forward?

The motor that moves the seat back and forward is a small, black cylinder, and is mounted to a bar under the front middle of the seat. On either side of the motor are two flexible, square “rods” that look a little like springs.

Is the drivers side power seat still working?

Discussion in ‘ 2nd Gen – 2003 – 2006 ‘ started by zablalbaz, Jul 14, 2017 . I have a 2006 Ford Expedition Ltd and I love it! I’ve had it for 8 years now, and I plan on driving it until it dies. But my driver side power seat just stopped moving forward and back. Everything else still works. Lumbar, tilt, etc.
