The motor will only allow the seat to move closer to the steering wheel. No obstructions found blocking drive to prevent seat from moving back. Toyota says there is no way to manually move seat back. Will probably have to unbolt seat from floorboard and look at underside of seat that way. Help!

It sounds like the switch is bad.
