Default Driver side power seat problem

Hi everyone,

Just recently the driver's side seat will not go back as far as it used to. I can get the passenger side back several inches further. I've checked to see if anything is blocking the seat's travel, but nothing is.

I've tried to move the seat back further from each of the three presets, but it will only go back to the same, 3/4ish position.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Did you run it all the way forward first? Does it sound like the motor wants to continue to strain or does the motor stop when going back? When fully forward, check all in and under the tracks as well as inside the channel between the top and bottom of the track connected to the car. Maybe a pen or something fell inside there. Use a light as well as a q-tip, toothpick, or something to check that nothing is blocking full travel.
