Seat Won’t Move for Driver Change – Long‑Trip Ergonomic Rescue for Safety MyMechanic

Why Seats Refuse to Move

• Mechanical jam: coins, packaging, or objects wedged in the tracks.
• Electrical fault (power seats): blown fuse, weak motor, or switch issues.
• Rust and wear: older rails seize, especially after moisture exposure.
• Misaligned levers/locks: sudden jerks can bend small moving parts.

Immediate DIY Checks

• Look under the seat for debris blocking the rails; remove obstructions.
• For power seats, check fuses and try both front/rear switches and memory recall if equipped.
• Gently rock the seat while operating the lever to free minor jams; avoid force that bends mechanisms.
