Default Here's a new one... front passenger seat will not move fore and aft

I had to haul an area carpet to be rebound, so I dropped the rear seats and moved the front passenger seat all the way forward with the backrest moved all the way forward as well.

I delivered the carpet and outside the store I tried to put everything back the way it was... hmmm. The front passenger seat backrest is back to the way it was, but the seat will not move back. It will move up and down and the lumbar adjustment still works, but there's nothing happening moving back and forth now. No motor sound. Nothing.

Any thoughts?

Default Check electrical connectors under seat. Very often

a full ride forward will pull the connector loose.

Default Ah!

I'll have a look, thanks!

I wonder if I'll need to unbolt the seat to access them since the seat is all the way forward, or maybe they're accessed from the rear. I'll find out!

If the elec. connections are kosher, could it have somehow jammed? Good luck.
