Drivers power seat wont move forward. Can't push clutch if I can't move the seat forward

Check the control cable under the seat

the lever activates cables to either side of the seat runners
one side has broken or come off
reach under the seat (from the back gives the most space and replace or re-clip that cable to the bar

need to check under the seat or even remove the seat if you cant see the problem. there is a wire that breaks connecting the two rail releases. find the wire and reconnect it

check for the release wire fully releasing the lock on that side. when you pull on the release lever it is to pull both release locks so the seat will move.

there will be bars underneath the seat that are supposed to go across to unlock both sides so that the seat can move forward and back, try having someone pull the lever and see if you can see from behind the bar that moves and figure out what it corresponds to on the opposite side. you should be able to move it by hand, release the lock and set the seat where you want it, as for a permanent fix, most seats are not difficult to remove, typically four bolts, although some take specialty tools like large torx bits, and i would imagine the bar is replaceable

try pushing back on the seat as you pull the lever, and then pull forward

All actions to be done from the trunk area of the 2001 Suburban

1. Lay seat back down by lifting lever 1 and pushing seat back forward.
2. Grab center lever (labeled 2) at seat bottom, back, middle. Pull up on lever and on bar to roll seat up onto it's front.
3. Pull finger tab at center of seat (unlocks seat from floor) and pull seat towards back of vehicle on rollers.
4. Lay seat down. Seat is a beast and best to use two people to get seat to the ground!

the knob on the left side of the lower cushion if its power seats push it forward, if not power pull the lever under the front of the cushoin UP to move the seat

You can move the drivers seat back by turning on the power, getting in the seat and position your feet firmly on the fron flor with your back firmly against he seatback, and then engage the switch pushing back - while pushing like hell with your feet. You can actually hear the seat drive shaft turning while the seat moves back. The principle should be the same for moving forward, but pressure would have to be aplide to the back of the seat.

look under the seat and first see if something is jammed under it.... and that the wire that moves with the lever is intact. different instructions if that is a power seat.
