Hi folks..
I have a 2012 Crew... Tried to flip the Stow and Go seat today. and found this problem..
My electric drivers seat will not move forward enough to allow use of the Stow and Go rear seat.
The drivers seat needs to be all the way forward to allow the Stow and Go to flip into floor.
It hangs up just part way forward.
It had been working fine, when last used recently. Not now.
So , the motor works, but seat stops prematurely..
Any quick fix, or override..??

Thanks JK,

I did look closer at this situation, and found that the wire bundle from the switches were being tugged at over at the motors, as the seat moved,,
I readjusted the wiring bundle some and the seat found full movement..
That said,
I would like to comment on the plastic part on the side on the seat base, into which the seat control switches are attached.
That piece of plastic engineering is crap, that plastic part is broken and loose, had always been as far as I know..
The act of getting into and out of the van drivers seat presses on the plastic and pretty much immediately broke the fasteners used to neatly attach it to the seat base.
As a result, that piece of plastic on which the three switches are located, sags and snags on the non moving rails of the seat, Not good.
And look awful too.
I looked into fixing this some time ago (reattaching the plastic properly and neatly) , and concluded that it would be a pretty detailed little project. Require drilling screw holes into the metal seat base, tapping them, finding spacers that would fill gaps, and securing the plastic by means of metal screws.
Now that I see the problem with the wires and with the use of the Stow and Go seats, I may get back to this project.
