after power disconnect get in the driver's seat and close the door
raise the window up and hold for 3 sec.
lower the window and hold for 3 sec.
now do the same for the passenger window from the driver's seat
this is re-indexing the windows. It is listed in the window section of your
manual

someone can chime in that has done this but if you can do a search on removing the seat switch... take the one out of the passenger seat and put it in the driver's seat. If it works at least you will know if it is the switch and you can get your seat back to position to drive it tomorrow.
Then just order another switch from Gene at GMPARTSHOUSE.COM
And as Marc V. says, you did check the fuse, right? check you manual for the correct one

If you want to remove the seat, which is not to hard you can then manually move the seat back. If you remove the seat it will be a little tough with seat all the way forward but it can be done. You will have to use a box wrench on the front bolts.

Only other thing I can think of is if you can look under the seat and make sure the wire harness is still plugged in. You should be able to see it sticking through the carpet. It's possible it came disconnected when the seat moved all the way forward. I'm just throwing out ideas here.
Oh and the fuse is marked "PWR SEATS MEMORY SEATS". That's the fuse weather you have memory seats or not.
