Driver seat does not move forward

[mjz]

Have a 2008 M35 and have the seat all the way back. Getting ready to sell and deciding if it’s a motor or relay problem that’s limiting the driver seat from being able to move forward or back. What’s involved in determining the cause?

You'd have to remove the seat to investigate and figure out a way to power the motor to see if it moves...me thinks.

Ouch..and it's all the way back
Had the same problem with my 2000 max. You can try tapping the motor, but that would only work for so long tho.
