Default Driver's power seat quit working!!

How do I fix the power seats? The driver's side quit working on me. I can tilt it up/down, but it doesn't go forward or backwards. Please help!

BTW, I have the sport seats and memory package.

You could have either a bad switch or motor.

When mine stopped working I had the exact same situation, no forward and back but everything else worked. Ended up the support for the shaft had broken. Would not engage then. Take out the seat and see if anything is broken. I ended up replacing the switch too, easy to do and fairly inexpensive. I had to order a new base for the seat. Now the wings don't work. Need to take mine out and see what is up.
