    Power seat motor

    I noticed yesterday that my driver's seat does not want to go forward with my fat butt in it. It seems to go backwards just fine, and it moves fine when empty.

    Has anybody else had this problem and had to replace the motor or something else?

    No and I'm plenty big!
    Does it sound labored when trying to move forward w/load or is the motor running @ speed but no forward movement? If running @ speed w/no movement it could be a gear is slipping on shaft or stripped? If labored the slide may be binding or the motor is on the way out.

    The buttons on the door may be dirty. Spray some contact cleaner in there.

    Yep, it moves forward fine when empty. It goes if I "help" it. Has no problem going backwards.

    Maybe spray some wd40 in the tracks and around the mechanisms.

    Not load rated, check the tracks for obstructions when weight is in the seat.
