My passenger power seats can only go back to a certain point and it just stops. The mechanism seems to be working fine; it goes up/down, the back works great but the seat, which only moves forward and backwards, stops at a certain point. I tried taking the seat off the car but since it only goes back to a certain point, I cannot access the front two bolts that fastens the seat to the floor, does anybody have a clue.

Possibly needs to be synchronized. To do this, you hold the seat adjustment button forward, the seat goes all the way to the front, then continue to hold the button for about 5 seconds. Then see if the seat goes all the way back.

Tried that already, I"m thinking there is a coin stuck way up there on the thread of the track. The best course of action is to remove the seat so I can see the threaded tracks at an angle. But I can't get the seat off because the seat is practically covering the bolt, I have tried moving the seat as up as possible but the wrench is just too big to get in between metal bars.

I see, other thought would be to put the seat forward as far as it goes, then raise the rear up as far as it goes and the front down, then you might be able to spot what is jammimg the seat, I've had to do this quite a bit when I was wrenching. I'd concentrate on the left side rail (side closest to the center console, catches the most coins it seems like. damhik.)
