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.

  • On‑site troubleshooting for jammed rails or power‑seat faults.
  • Secure a safer, ergonomic temporary position when full repair isn’t immediate.
