Default 2013 Driver Seat Problem Back and Forth

1st real issue on my 2013 Luxury AWD with 122K miles on the clock.
The seat adjustment for back and forth movement stopped working on the drivers side.
Luckily it's in a good position for me.
All the other adjustments function fine for the seat.
Feels like either the servo motor went bad or a wire/connector issue.

Anyone ever experience this or have some trouble shooting tips for this?
I feel like I've seen something on this forum before but can't find anything using the search functions.
Thanks

Did you have the easy exit mode turned on were the seat retracts when you open the door?
Doubt the harness came undone, it's clipped into place. You can unbolt the seat and tilt it back to inspect if anything it stuck in the mechanism or the track.

If there is nothing there then probably the motor failed. Another thing you might want to try is disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes and reconnecting to see if it works after a sort of hard reset for the car.

Yup! Easy Exit mode turned on.
Can see material stuck in track.
Felt piece from back of lower seat must have got lodged in the track during an exit.

Will try to clear the track later today.

Thanks Peasodos!
