I left the window open and seat got wet. Now only one side moves forward on drivers seat. Up down OK. One track does not move forward. Help

How wet are we talking here? Enough to hear a squelch when you sit in it and get your backside wet?
Anyway, my guess is that the left side is the sticky side now. It just seems like water got in the rail. Lubricate it (sorry I can't recall if nissan wants lithium grease or if regular dry lube in cans will be compatible)

Thank you. I will try lube. Not that wet. floor and seats. Sitting in the seat the left track works. The right side is locked.

That's odd. Make sure nothing got jammed in there

There is one motor that drives both sides, so if one side is working, the motor is likely OK - check the stuck side for a stripped or cracked gear at the end of the rail mechanism that is not moving.
