from of another site" expert brad" The seat has a circuit breaker, . If no voltage check fuse 22.
Either the switch or the motor is defective. You need to purchase the repair manual. It's an easy repair burr the manual will show you which wires to jump once you remove the switch, this way you can determine whether the switch is faulty or the motor. If bypassing the switch makes the seat operate correctly then the switch is the culprit. If not then it's the motor 9 out of 10 times it's the switch.
only 4 bolts hold the seat in they may have a plastic cover on them that can be popped off with a screwdriver.remove the bolts and lean the seat back check the wires going to the motor and make sure it has power going to it.Don't know of any way to manually recline the seat without taking it apart.
You can move the drivers seat back by turning on the power, getting in the seat and position your feet firmly on the fron flor with your back firmly against he seatback, and then engage the switch pushing back - while pushing like hell with your feet. You can actually hear the seat drive shaft turning while the seat moves back. The principle should be the same for moving forward, but pressure would have to be aplide to the back of the seat.
Motor on the seat may have gone out, contacts in switch got dirty or worn, or assembly reached limit and stuck. Try sitting in it pushing back hard and adjust. If not youll need to replace switch,b take seat apart to fix or replace.
