Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / January 2006Power seat stuck
My '97 Explorer's driver side power seat is stuck back at nearly end of the track. It will advance about an inch, but then the motor bogs down, and then nothing. I'm 5'6" and this is not a very comfortable (or safe) driving position. I've looked under the seat and can't see any foreign object that might be causing the power adjustment rack to bind up. Could I have moved the seat too far back and maybe it slipped the track? Is there any way to manually adjust the seat forward? Thanks for you help. > My '97 Explorer's driver side power seat is stuck back at nearly end of > the track.

Thanks for you help. This happened to my 2000. On mine it was the drivers side also. The right side seatbelt mount gets wedged on the seat rail. I think I used a screwdriver to pop it free. If I put the seat all the way back it will happen again. Mike On my 96 EB AWD, it was a combination of worn out lubricant and crusted coffee/soda in the inboard track - caused it to bind while coming forward. Cleaned it all out and applied silicone lube - actually moves better than before. >> My '97 Explorer's driver side power seat is stuck back at nearly end of >> the track.

A little judicious use of silicone grease on the plastic part that slides in the track solved the problem for me. It was the part that keeps the RH belt in position regardless of seat placement. Dave That was it! The seat belt anchor got caught up in the seat rail. All's right in the world again. Thanks much! Greg |
