Power Seat Help

[Srwilliams]

Okay I have a 1987 Cabriolet.

I have my power seats out of the car. I put 12 volt to the motors and they run even turning the gear that spins on both sides. But the rails do not move at all on either side.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated

That quite annoying!
Did they ever work when installed in the car? Do you have 2 or 3 round rocker buttons on the outside of the seat bottoms?
I presume you are testing the motors with the seats out of the car. The rails may need pressure to engage into the cogs or the rails are already at the end and disengaged. If so, you could try to push them back towards the centre a bit.
Hope you solve it.
