Seat Won’t Move for Driver Change – Long‑Trip Ergonomic Rescue for Safety | MyMechanic

Shared long drives from Singapore into Malaysia depend on a proper driving position. If the driver’s seat won’t adjust, treat it as a safety issue—address the jam calmly before continuing.

MyMechanic provides roadside help for SG‑registered cars in Malaysia—on‑site seat checks, safe temporary positioning, and follow‑up routing only when necessary.

Why Seats Refuse to Move

Mechanical jam: coins, packaging, or objects wedged in the tracks.
Electrical fault (power seats): blown fuse, weak motor, or switch issues.
Rust and wear: older rails seize, especially after moisture exposure.
Misaligned levers/locks: sudden jerks can bend small moving parts.

Immediate DIY Checks

Look under the seat for debris blocking the rails; remove obstructions.
For power seats, check fuses and try both front/rear switches and memory recall if equipped.
Gently rock the seat while operating the lever to free minor jams; avoid force that bends mechanisms.
