bmw passenger seat

i have bmw 323ci passenger elec seat goes fwd reclines fwd but does not go bkwds any idears????

hi wozza, is it an electric powered seat? If so it could be the motor, or the gears between motor and seat were typically made of plastic and frequently get worn.
hope this is of some help

if i had to guess id say most likely a problem with the switch.see if you can get a wiring diagram you can unplug the switch and jump the connections to try to bring the seat backwards.what is the year of your beamer?

w 2000 i dont think its the moter has it still clicks and moves fwd thanks for reply

well it's not the motor if its moving forward, it does'nt sound if it is electricial because power is going to the motor
as wheelo said it sounds like a gear problem
