The power seat on the passenger side of my car doesn't move forward and back. It will lay the back of the seat down and lift it up but do nothing with the actual position. Is there anything anyone can suggest?

It could be jammed. Check the track for coins/pens/etc.

If there is nothing mechanical interfering with the operation, try this: there is a motor under the seat which, if you tap on it lightly with a hammer while operating the switch, will start working again--or at least it worked for me (either seat). I learned this on the forum several years ago when at the point of replacing all that mechanism.

Did you figure out this issue, and if so, what was the resolution? I have a 2002 Maxima that has the exact same problem, except mine is the driver seat.

Thanks.

My 2002 I35 driver's seat went out and it cost me $600 to fix at the dealership.

Do you know what they replaced? I would prefer to do it myself and would like to get some advice on things to check.

Just wondering if you ever looked to see if your problem was the plastic gear? Those gears can get very worn and stripped, or possibly break
