Howdy all,

I've got a 2003 Eddie Bauer Expedition. It's got a powered driver's seat. That seat will move up and down but not forward and backward. It makes a tap or thunk noise when you operate the switch to make it go forward or backward. Anyone know a fix?

What I've tried:
1. Cleaning out under the seat. There was a lot of junk that might've stopped it from working at the beginning
2. Checked the runners and I couldn't seem to find anything stuck in them.
3. Vacuumed out under the seat.

I searched the forums and couldn't find anything about this. Searched online and found that the fact it makes a tap or thunk noise means the electronics are fine but it just thinks/is stuck.

Anyone know a fix? If I've cleared out something that might've stopped it moving before, do I need to reset anything to get it to function again?

Thanks very much!

You may find much better results going to the 2nd GEN forum instead of the interior forum. I am researching a like issue in a 2nd GEN and that forum has dozens of posts on the seat issue.
