Default Power Drvr Seat not working

My wife drove the D2 to the store, she does not usually drive it, and moved the seat up. Now I cannot get it to go back, so I can get in. Best place to start searching for solution? Fuse? Seat Switch? I had it not work once a while back but played with the switch for a few minutes and it started working again.

Planning to head to Uwharrie Rover Event (URE) in NC tomorrow, so kind of have to get this fixed to get going. Help appreciated!

If you can't get it working you can use a pair of pliers and from the back you can twist the rod under the seat and move it back. I think it's the one on the right side.

nuclear?? did a write up on fixing/cleaning off the switches... that might be of some use.

We had something similar on our 2004. It wound up being a fraid wire.

Fuses are all good, and one of mine is a 40A, I am guessing that one is for the motor? Swapped switch with passenger side, switch is good. I will try to find a relay with same number as the under-seat relay and swap, and then will just have to manually turn the long threaded rod to get me back in business for now. What rover fun!!!!

I wiggle the motor and can get it to work, so looks like loose connection in or at the motor. So I got my seat moved back, now on to other issues that were on the list prior to this one.
