If it is a manual seat there is cable under the seat that pulls out the lock tabs on the track. You can use plyers to pull the broken cable to release the seat. If it is a motor you will have to release the motor from the brackets and the seat will slide freely as the motor is the stop and the release.

with a flashlight, needle nose, and flathead screwdriver; :look underneath to wear the handle cables are connected to little clips on the slider rails. Try to pull out and hold one clip with pliers and do the same on other side with flathead. When clips are pointed out the seat will slide until you let go of the clips. I am guessing that one of the cables attached to the handle is either missing or caught up on something.

Go under the seat and check both slide tracks for anything jamming it up...I've removed gloves, socks, candy boxes etc from tracks. Also if its not a power seat, check that when you move the release lever it is connected by a stiff wire to the opposite side. That wire releases the right side track. If broken or stretched, it wont.

Make sure there is nothing caught on the two track bars.

All the motors under the seat are bi-directional, meaning you can apply power (12V) on one side and ground on the other, it will turn in one direction. If you reverse the wires it will move in the opposite direction. Quite often the motors fail, but if it at least works in one direction it's usually a wiring issue. Follow the wires from the failed motor to the connector, and jumper them both. The motor should move backwards, and you'll have to find the problem in the wiring. If it doesn't move, lightly tap on the motor with power and ground supplied, if it now moves the motor is starting to fail
