Power seat
Just did a search using power seats on this forum and got a bunch of what appears to be unrelated links. In any case, my drivers side power seat doesn't move when actuated. I believe I can hear a buzz and slight vibration so I think the motor is working. Does this seat require some sort of maintenance I am unaware of? Right now it is stuck all the way back.

Probably the best thing you can do is take the four bolts off, lift up the seat and see was is going on. If the motor is working, probably something broken on the seat track but you will really need to look and see what it is. FYI, there are three motors that run the seats, so check out each one.

The best way to search CF, that I have found, is to go to Google, type in "Corvette Forum" and then whatever search terms you want. Almost without fail, this yields far better results and far more quickly.
I don't know why the search function within CF itself is so poor...but I have never found it to be very useful.

If the seat is stuck all the way back you can't get to the rear two mounts to remove the seat. Get someone to help you and try to "power" the seat forward with the motor while you pull/push the seat forward physically. If that does not work let us know.
I let a friend drive my car and the seat did not move forward for him. I got in and did the above and got it forward. I plan to pull the seat at some point and diagnosis the issue.

As with most things I see on here, a little troubleshooting goes a long way. And the members here are very good at pointing us in the right direction. Pull the seat and see what is going on under there!
