Today I tried to move my drivers seat up and found out that from the farthest back position it will only move up about an inch or so. That is the position I usually have it so it is not a huge problem. I would like to be able to move it all the way forward in case I ever have to get to the back bolts so that I can remove the seat. All the other power functions work(lumbar/up/down) and I checked the under hood fuse just in case. Anbody have an idea why it would be doing this? Mabe there is something blocking it?

Did you check the seat tracks to make sure nothing is stuck in there?

id assume it would be something on the tracks as well. although, the motor is pretty strong when it comes to pushing the seats.

I think it may be the motor crapping out, because mine scoots back just fine but to put it forward I have to "help" it along by pulling my body forward.

Well.... I saw this thread and thought today would be a good day to see what was up w/my seat.
Fuse was shot.

My seat too is having a hard time going up. No probs going back though.

Well, it works fine now. I gave it some "help" to get it moving forward. At first it didnt seem like it would go but it ended up moving. It does move forward a little more slowly than back. Most mustangs I have been in seem to do that though.

haha that pitch has no effect

just park down hill

my car goes forward and back and up, but no down

I had to pull the seat and turn the shaft manually with pliars to get it down so my spikey hair didnt stick in the room
