Default passenger seat not sliding foward

so its been about a month or 2 since anyone sat on the passenger side seat but yesterday one of my buddy who sat in the seat noticed that the passenger side seat wont recline back up and wont slide forward. it will still decline and slide back. anyone know if the motor for the passenger side is out and have to buy a new one or is there a way to fix it somehow? called nissan stealership today and they wanted an arm and leg for it

Probably a stupid question but did you make sure all the connections are still plugged in?

Also check to see if you have a blown fuse.

Since it will work in one direction only, that suggests a wiring problem to me. I'd start by checking the command switches and any limit switches. Wiring diagrams, description of operation, &c are in the FSM (link in my sig).

If it's moving one way then the seat is getting power
Could be a wire got pinched, cut or a loose connection, also the switch could be bad

If you feel comfortable doing it, remove the switches, get down to the board, spray contact cleaner (or pour denatured alcohol) in the switches, move the switches around, reassemble and see if it works. I did that to my dad's Maxima when it did something similar
