Electric driver seat
my seat on the l/h side gets stuck while I command it Forward. its get stuck in the middle of the seat movement range.if I keep bumping the switch forward the seat will move a bit fwd then stop. I have to do this several times till I get the seat adjusted to where I like it. it also does this in memory mode. what could this be?

From the wiruing diagram its a switch to move forward with a separate circuit to move back. That connects to the motor and the only other thing in the circuit is a position sensor.
If it does the same on memory (from a different command) I'd think its probably a motor problem but just guessing.

The driver seat on my '98 does it too. After pulling the seat to investigate, it appears the threaded rod has stripped threads in several places along the track. I'm not sure how to fix it and will probably look for a new seat.
