'03 Expy driver power seat problem
You guys saved me a ton when my 99 expy odometer blacked out, found the fix on this board and it worked like a charm! Now for the current problem...wife and I like the expy so much we bought another one, an '03 EB...now we have 2! The drivers seat on the 03 front to back adjustment just quit on the right side...the left side still moves, torquing the seat if it goes too far. I looked under the seat, planning to check for relays or fuses and the mess under there scared me off...lol Thought I'd check with you all first. Are there 2 motors for the front/back motion or one? Relays or fuses under the seat? The fuse under the instrument panel controls more than the seat, and the other things are working so its not that fuse. If I unbolt the seat and lay it back, will that cause problems or make it easier to work on? I looked for an hour, couldn't find any threads re this issue...any links to wiring diagrams or technical specs for the seat would be great...I'm thinking the right side may have just slipped 'off track' or something. Thanks again for the info on the odometer problem-hopefully we'll get lucky with the seat problem too!

I'll assume the latter...
There is only one motor that moves the seat fore and aft. If you are not getting equal travel then I would suspect that something is jamming up the right side track.
Might be easiest to pull the seat from the truck. Shouldn't be that difficult but you will need large TORX bits to do it.

We had that same problem on our 04- the auto seat entry and exit was jamming the seat in the track to the back. It was under warranty and we took it to the dealer a couple of times before they replaced the seat tracks and the problem was solved. The dealer had seen this on 4 or 5 Expys before. There is some way to unstick the track, but they wouldn't tell me how to do it.
