To reset the Ford Explorer 3rd-row PowerFold seats, clear all cargo, and hold the seat control buttons (L/R) in the cargo area for 30–60 seconds, or until the seats fully cycle, to recalibrate. For persistent issues, hold the center button (if equipped) for 5 seconds after movement stops to reset the seat position sensor.

First thing I’d check is if something is jammed behind or under the seat. These power fold seats are super sensitive and will stop if they feel resistance. Also try folding it manually from the seat itself if your model has the pull strap/handle. Could be the switch, motor, or just the seat module needing a reset.

Might also be worth checking the fuse if the passenger side is completely dead but the driver side still works.
