I am having the same problem on a 2006 Explorer. Haven't received any answers yet. Very frustrating.

Question 3rd row power seat won't go down 2006 mountaineer

How do you disconnect the motor/latch assembly from the seat? I do not
want to put in another latch assembly but want to manually raise and lower the seat. Has anyone done this before?

3rd Row Seat plagues alot of us!

I just purchased a 2007 Mercury Mountaineer doing the same thing. I found this link to be very helpful regarding the 3rd row seat issue.

I just recently had to replace the seat motor on our 2008 Explorer, it's not the hardest job in the world to do, just more frustrating than anything else. The piece that's annoying is having to buy an entire $275 piece when its likely just something minor in the motor that went out.

Give it a couple hours to do getting the seat and old motor/bracket out and the new one in. If you have the budget I would seriously consider doing both at the same time.
