Driver's power seat won't go forward, all other directions work

[rickprins]

Hey everyone, I just found out that my 2014 CX-5 (211k miles) power driver's seat will no longer move forward. It will go backwards & up/down just fine. When pushing forwards, the motor makes a single click. My short daughter normally drives this, and when I adjusted the seat for myself I discovered I can't get it back for her size. I checked the tracks/rails and removed all debris - to no avail. Any suggestions are appreciated! I need to get this resolved so she can resume driving it.

Sound like maybe it's the switch?

or the cable.

I'll start with the switch. That looks like something I can replace.

Just FYI, this is the switch wiring diagram. You could try bridging the connector pins L and M first, to see if the switch is the problem:

I have a multi-meter, but am still pretty basic in using it. It there a way I could check impedance for the switch?
