Tricky seat removal
My power seat is stuck all the way in the rearward position. All other seat functions work but I can't remove the rear bolts because the seat is stuck all the way back. I've beat it, talked to it nicely, and no way will it move forward to reveal those bolts. How do I get the dang seat unbolted from the floor? Is there a way to manually move it forward, or some trick you might have to get the seat unbolted from the floor?

The removal process is detailed in the FSM page 8-1147. I don't have time to type it all now, but you basically remove the seat cushion and get the seat our from there. Sounds fairly complicated (I've never done it), but obviously it can be done. If no one else helps, I'll type the instructions for you tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks Voda,
I got the seat cushion up and since the seat seemed to want to go backwards , I just reversed the wires on the adjuster motor so it would go forward when the switch was moved in the backwards position. Ņext is to fix the seat adjuster, and dry the carpet, I had a leak in the tonneau cover seal due to gunk in the drain channel and poor seating of the seal. I wonder what else I will run into today !
