If your power seat will not move correctly but you can hear the motor running when you press the switch, there is a good chance that a $14 plastic seat motor gear is stripped. You can replace this yourself. See links below to specific sections of the video and replacement part.

In this third video in my series I will remove the passenger seat from my 2004 Infiniti FX 35 and replace a missing plastic seat gear I was able to buy online for $14. The repair only requires very basic tools. The dealership does not sell this part and will quote you an entire seat to do the same repair.

I see you said there was a way to do it with removing the seat?
I had a airbag light issue too and I was wondering how to reset it. Thanks bro for the great video.
Great video and instruction, many thanks!
I have a 2005 Infiniti fx 35 with the exact same issue on the passenger side. This video was so helpful for me. Thank you for making a video that I can actually follow and understand !
Thanks for the video. It’s my driver side but appreciate all the info.
Where did you get the gear piece ? For the seat and what is it called ?
Thanks a lot, have the same problem on mine. Did you fix the drivers side up/down gear also?
Awesome info…Thx!
Driver seat is doing the same. Will be taking a look over the weekend.
Thanks for posting this. I just fixed my 2005 FX35 driver side seat with that gear I ordered from Amazon, in 30 minutes. I didn't even take the seat out or unplug anything.
Just pulled the plastic seat front off to the side and went from there.I went straight to the right side gear, and found that it was stripped.
The guy is hilarious!!! He has a great sense of humor..thank you for sharing
how did you find the item for the project? For the same car, my steering wheel doesnt go forward and backwards. Im assuming the gear is broken.How do you find the part to fix it?
Very Good!!!
