It's a power driver seat and it will go up, down, forward, and that's it. No backward. I pulled the seat and tested all the wires for voltage. They all seem fine. But I'm new to anything electrical. I would think it's gotta be the motor that's bad, but I have no way of knowing. Could the motor work sliding forward but not back? Or must it be a wire problem?

Yeah, it could be the motor. If all else fails, a manual seat track mightwork for ya. At the advice of wise ones here, when I got the '94, that was the route I went. I never got around to trying to fix mine - the worm gear stripped.
Good luck.

Keep it lubed .... keep it straight .... and keep
Mine did that when I first got it. Turned out that a wire was a little loose where it connected to the switch itself. You may have already checked that? I just jiggled all the wires around at that switch until I noticed it worked. I just pushed it up in there as far as I could. It works fine now, but I need to go back and "fix" it.

My motor is just slowly dieing. I know it has been, i now have to get out of the seat first then move it because it doesnt have the juice to move me in it.
mine works in every direction but back as well. it is definitely the motor though since i can hear it trying to go. with all 180lb. of my weight against the seat back it will slide backwards very slowly and unwillingly. luckily i still have the entire drivers seat from my old one and the motor is perfect. i just really havent found the motivation to change it out. it isnt often that i move the seat since i am 6' tall and am the only one that drives the car. the seat is always back as far as it goes.
