2003 Camry - the driver's power seat has stopped moving forward-
backword horizontally.It's all the way up to the steering column after
cleaning the back seats!!! It can still tilt and go up/down. I can
hear a
click when I push the button to move it horizontally but there is no
movements. What could be the problem? Any obvious thing that I can
chceck? Tracks look clear and wires connected. Could it be just the
weak battery? Is there any bypass for power stuff to convert it into
manual mode? Thanks in advance for yout time!

Also the electric motor that controls the seat's horizontal movement
is hot to the touch

Sounds like the track gear is jammed at the full forward stop
position.
If you've already tried sitting in the seat and throwing your weight
rearward while trying to free it, the next step would probably be to
disassemble as much as you need to try to move the track gear
manually, with the blade of a screwdriver or something similar just to
get it to release.
I don't have the electric seat, but on the manual version there are
four bolts that hold the seat base to the chassis, if you remove those
you should get access.

That says the motor may still be fine. Yes, do check for rail
movement.
