w210 Power Seat, only one side moves

[tgmiller77]

I am having a problem with the right side, Passenger,power seat (2001 E320). Only one side of the rail is moving front to back and the left side does not move at all. It is in a pretty foward position so getting to the anchor bolts is not possible to get the seat out. When I removed the rear bolts I am able to tilt the seat up about 6 inches.

It does not look like there is anything blocking the rail. I have searched and have not found a post addressing this. What might the problem be, any help would be great.

I figured it out. The cable was stripped out so I unhooked the gear and slid the seat back by hand.
