I would appreciate anyone who would know whats wrong with my power seat. It is fully functional but it wont move all the way back. Its not the recliner, its the whole seat. It will move forward and back, but it just stops way before its suppose to. Its annoying to drive this way as my legs are a bit long. I've check underneath the seat to see if theres anything in the way and it looks clear to me. The motor seems fine since it will move in every direction: up, down, forward, back, and recliner works too.

Thanks

Not sure how the seat senses that it's done moving/ reached its limit. Maybe the motor is receiving a false indication of a full cycle. No telling.

Have you removed the seat to verify there are no obstructions? The seats are insanely easy to remove.

Thanks for the reply!

I ended pulling out the seat and after closer inspections, there was a tiny screw stuck in one of the rails.
