Default C5 Driver Seat Problem

I do hope I am in the right forum for this...

I recently picked up a C5 that was in pretty nice shape..I found this in a good friend's collection and somehow and someway, he picked up a C5 that use to be owned by Derek Jeter. It has a one off red paint on it that makes it just beautiful..but back to the subject.

Driver's seat, power seat, and today all of a sudden it stopped moving the seat back. It will move it frontwards as I was moving it up to vacuum under it, but now, I am unable to drive the car since the seat is all the way up under the wheel.

I am not familiar with the electrical switch that is housed inside the little box that the controls are in.

Is there any way to move this seat back without using the switch? Can I pop up the bottom part of the seat like I can on my C4?

Any help on this would be appreciated since this is my daily driver.

thanks in advance
Steve

You might check the module ( square box under the seat), and see if the power supply wire got pulled out ( I believe its orange). But, if you move the switch forward and can hear it run, that's probably not the issue. If no sound, this may be it. ( had this happen to me)

HOw do I get to the module? Does the bottom part of the seat come off I can't seem to see...??
Or do I get to it from coming in from under the front part of the seat?????
