The driver seat of my 1999 LS400 comes back fine. But when it's time to pull the seat back forward. it goes a lil and then stalls. Any ideas???

it could be the motor or you could have something stuck i.e. a coin is everything clear?

4 bolts and it is out of there..... you might can leave it plugged into the harness, just lean it back and see what is going on, then tell us "how you fixed it"

Yea, everything's clear. I originally thought it might have been a relay or some type of electrical issue. But i'm tryin to avoid the dealer, because everytime u go there, u have to pay an arm and a leg. And these days i dont have any limbs to spare.

And billy, there are just 4 bolts holding the seat to the track???

Yes, the seat is attached to the floor with 4 bolts (17mm?) Take the plastic end covers and you will see them. Be careful not to scratch the steering wheel with the bottom of the seat when taking it out.

I don't understand. The seat reclines but doesn't return to the normal position? Or the seat slides back and wont slide forward? Does the motor keep running and the seat not move? or does the motor shut off when the seat stops moving?

The motor engages but it sounds like it stops when the seat stops moving. And it just makes a click sound when u move the slider on the side of the seat to move it forward. And it slides back and moves forward to a certain point.

It sounds like something is stuck in the railing underneath. Slide the seat all the way back and then remove the front bolts holding the seat down. Slide the seat forward just enough to give you access to the rear bolts and remove them as well. You will likely need a 14 mm socket wrench (preferably with a ratcheting mechanism) to remove the bolts. Once all the bolts are off tip the seat back but leave the harness connected. Then slide the seat forward and backward while looking at railing and see if there is anything stopping the motion of the seat. You should be able to figure out what is wrong by looking underneath while the seat is moving.

Good luck.
