Default Electric seat problem!

I have an electric seat. It does not work and is shoved all the way forward. How do I move it without it working?

Unbolt the seat from the floor.. maybe you'll see a reason for it not working under there.

Try and hard wire it. Get a car battery under the seat is a two prong conector. Unplayit and touch two wires to the battery and then the prongs. .... It won't hurt anything I did it today to mine

Default Having Problem with Electric Seat

My daughter put her 2002 Grand Cherokee seat all the way back to put on her shoes and the seat will not move more that 1/2" forward.

You can move the seat back.. Then forward just that small amount.


I looked at the rails and did not see anything in the front. Unfortunately with the seat all the way back I can not get access to the rear bolts to remove it.

Any suggestions?
