There was a lot of stuff on the floor. I leaned the seat back and fore trying to get into it. It's all enclosed. I did try vacuuming in the track also. I can see the little driveshaft trying to turn, then it just stops at a position on the track.

I wonder what tells the motor to stop? Is there some kind of current sensor in the line or a limit switch?

I took the seat out and removed the drive motor. The right side track only travels 2" total.
The right side track travels 5" total. I found this little piece of plastic that came out of the track, so apparently part of the glide is broken.

I found this part number on the track but an internet search is useless. Must be some kind of tracking number.

I can drive the track with the worm gear but the track itself gets hung up. The drive tries to keep going. Looks like I need at least a track assembly, if it's available.

I think I have the same problem as Dott. I heard a bunch of popping in my seat, then it made the same noise as I moved it back and forth. Now it won't go forward all the way. Going to get this figured out, I have a Ford tech buddy. Out of warranty since last year unfortunately.

Seems about right for parts....the track is approx 700 and the harness is ~150.

I found "like new" seats in a junkyard search. I can get a complete set of seats, all 3 rows with the same color leather for 800, I'd rather do that.

I have some other options, my brother runs a body shop, we'll see what he can do.
