I moved the passenger front seat fully forward to fold down the stowngo seats today, and it seemed to click or thump a little different than normal when it got to the end of the travel. Now it will only move about 1/4" from fully forward. There is nothing obvious stuck in the track. Any ideas?

 

Have you looked under the seat to see if something is stopping from moving back? Also check the seat track and see were it is binding.

 

It was hard to see much since I could barely get my head between the seat and glove box, but I managed to take the switch panel off and get the seat bottom loose. All the while, I kept messing with the switch back and forth. Many times it would only jerk back and forth once then not respond at all the the switch for a minute or so. After getting the seat bottom loose, it started working again, but now there is a hitch in its giddy-up coming from the left track. I haven't been able to find anything in the track.
