Take everything apart. Looks like the biggest job. Mine move forward, but now I can’t move it back. The other movements work. Thanks a lot. this really helped me.
Worked for my 1999 Eddie Bauer Expedition. Seat wouldn't move back, only forward until I sprayed it. I had just bought some Deoxit last year for a guitar amp that was making noise when turning switches, sliders and it worked wonders on it as well. Managed to break the plastic clips getting them off of the seat though.
Sometimes those contacts need a little bit of sanding as they get corroded (or just dull) and that's what stops the seat from moving - (it loses electrical contact) If you've tried everything else and your seat is still not moving, (and even if the contacts don't look corroded) I suggest lightly sanding them till they are shiny again. I've done this on several vehicles where I definitely thought I'd have to replace the control unit and sure enough after sanding the contacts they totally worked.

This is exactly what i needed to know....but having a difficult time to remove big knob....cant figure it out
Thank you soo much. My seat was stuck in forward position and would not come back until I followed this and got to driving position.

Thanks!!!! Saved me a lot of time.
Would you create a video for changing out the seat warmer switch without removing the panel?.
