Hey guys I gave a 2007 suburban and my wife hoppedin it she is 5'0 I'm 5'10. She couldn't get the seat to go forward so she can't reach the pedals. I tried moving the power seats and it reclined and does everything except forward and backward. It sounds like the motor is going I gear a click but nothing. Any help would be great !

Are you trying it with the truck motor on? The factory battery is weak.

Yeah both ways. Using the same toggle I can raise the height and lower but not go forward or backward

Well, based upon your user name.....

make sure there isn't an empty beer can jammed up under it anywhere.

Check to make sure none of the cables/plugs came unplugged, or nothing is loose. Also check for any objects that may be jammed under the seat.

I would check the wires and cables to make sure that there is nothing loose. Also, check to make sure that there is nothing stuck in the track under/behind the plastic. Good luck!

It depends on your dealer, but in most cases - yes they will. Then again, it doesn't hurt to ask if they can just take a quick look. Just know that it may be a bigger problem and will require parts in order to fix. Good Luck!!

Thx for the help guys. Anyone know exactly where the power pedal switch is. I found it and never used it but now I need it and can't remember where. No manual either.
