Sometimes it will only move very little forwards and backwards when using the slide bar. Then it will adjust properly.Intermitting electrical problem.

The teeth in the gears that move your seat (one set on each side) are failing or stripped. The most cost-effective fix is to buy another base with motors at a wrecking yard. I don't think you can get parts to fix it - just the whole assembly ($300-$500 new)

That is the output sensor on the transmission which is not making a complete circuit. I had the ecu replaced( flashed) installed but the check eng. light is still on?
