Seat twists

[Bruceluck]

I have a 2002 Pathfinder. The drivers seat twists rather than slide forward and back. Left side slides, right side doesn't move. Any ideas?

People have noted that "change" sometimes gets into the tracks and then jams it up good.

Thanks Slumpert, I took the seat apart, there was nothing in the track.

There is only one motor and it works, sort of. There seems to be a gear box or something like that, that the motor is attached to.

I have not taken the gearbox apart but I suppose it is possible it is broken in there.

I would take a socket set, some pliers and few screwdrivers to a pick-a-part junkyard and remove one or two of the rail assemblies with motor from the seat and transplant it onto your seat.

Way better to learn how to takestuff apart on a junkyard model first.
