Thanks to everyone for these posts, my passenger seat hadn't moved for a few years now, and recently my driver seat quit working, so I figured they must have died of old age, but after giving them a few raps with my hand both started moving again, really cool! I tried hitting on the side of the seats but that didn't work, so I looked under the seat for the motor and the only thing I saw was a cylindrical tube mounted near the front of the seat, so I figured that might be the motor and gave it a couple of hits and that did it! I would recommend my trick to start with because it is less invasive on the motor. If you use a screwdriver you have to be slightly more gentle to ensure you don't damage the motor under the seat. It is similar to the trick of tapping your starter when it is starting to go bad. In fact one time i just bounced my butt (I'm a pretty big guy) up and down and it started to work. Simply tapping anything on the seat gets those brushes to make better contact. The brushes in the motor are likely to have just a little carbon on them so they are not making proper contact.

A screw driver will work too it is just hard to get it in the right spot to be able to strike the screw driver. I simply pound pretty firmly on the mount that bolts the seat to the floor (black piece of metal) closest to the door (works on drivers or passengers side). You don't even need to tap on the motor housing. One part of your Nissan Maxima is the Seat Motor.
