2006 ford expedition. Drivers side seat with only recline up and down on the left side of the seat. The right side is in a fixed position. So my seat is now at an angle. This started after I reclined my seat all the way back. Then when bringing upward. Only the left side reclined. Te right side. Nothing. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Remove the seat from the floor and re-connect the cable that drives the seat from the end of the motor. If cable is broken, replace it.

SOURCE: front seat stays in the reclined postion..

The seat position is changed through the use of a cable that runs through a flexible tunnel, under the seat. In one case that I'm aware of, this cable got stuck around a projecting seat spring under the seat. When the seat was reclined and moved backward or forward, the cable caught on the seat spring and the seat had insufficient slack in the cable to release from the reclined position.

SOURCE: HONDA ACCORD Seats Front Assembly Recliner went down and won't go up

I wouldn't ruin anything by trying things yourself

I would have a dealer check it out

The dealer I used in the past, has a seat specialist come
in on Wed only, around 5:30 after the service bays close
& one service writer hangs out until that person fixes a
couple vehicles seat issues

Ford 2008 expedition, power drivers seat won't recline, but everything else works.

Power Recliner
The driver seat has an electro-mechanical backrest adjuster. The backrest adjustment switch is located on the side of the seat cushion side shield and is part of the seat control switch. The recliner motor is mounted to the backrest frame. Power recliners and motors are only serviceable by installing a new backrest frame assembly.
