I assume it's power?

If so, does the forward movement make a lot of noise? If it does, then the rail has fried. Sorry.

if it makes noise but doesnt move id say the plastic gears inside are worn out. This happened to me. I dont understand why they put plastic gears in there!!!!

you still didn't answer the big question, does it make noise? if so, the gears are DOA, and they are not commonly available on the open market.

Sounds like the switch has problems if the motor works only in one direction. Here are the diagnostics from my manual.......... http://members.shaw.ca/agent86/Power%20Seats.pdf

I just spent several days with Gorden Killebrew and among the problems we looked at was my passenger seat. Mine goes every way but back! We (He) concluded after testing that it was the switch
