Guys have a 2011 ZR! and the seat is stopped all the way to the rear. I'm sure a wire pulled loose on the harness but i can't gain access to the rear bolts. Is there a manual way to move the seat forward or any ideas?
Module that got unplugged that is causing the problems, is clipped to the bottom of seat wires towards the front.
There is enough room to get your hand up under the seat to push the connector back in and pray that is not the main wire connector that wire has cracked off it.
In this photo, look at the black box, the grey wires connector to the box, and notice that the OEM connnector red wire is cracked off the connector that the grey wire connector has replaced.
Thanks for that imfo my problem i'm pretty sure is the main harness connector coming from under the carpet and the large connector it plugs into. This happened before but last time the seat was not all the way to the rear. I thought I had secured the wire causing the problem last time but apparently not. I know the power is going to the seat because the lumbar switch has power.
I have to some how get to those rear seat bolts..
Did you get a notice about power seat problem recall? I received a letter in the past regarding this and my seat just stopped working recently. Letter instructs me to reference the notice if my power seat stops working. Haven't taken mine in yet.

Go the recall number on this, since it would be hell of lot easier for GM to just replace the entire wiring harness under the seat when the pull it, then to have to play wack a mole trying to find the bad connection in the harness yourself instead.
As for lumbar adjustment, not part of the power to the memory module (the black box that is clipped to the bottom of the seat wiring), so normal for those to work, while the seat can not be moved at all via its button. Really, with lumbar buttons working, and seat button not working, kind of screaming that the problem is the wiring to memory module itself (and most likely the power connector that I gave a link to to replace it).
Hell, put a tech II on the car, and will bank that you get a DTC code for problems in the memory module itself (no power to it/ so no comunication).
And as stated, the worst place to put the module, since every time you get in the set and out, it flexing the hell out of the wires to the module. The new connector has longer wires, and better wires that can take the bending in and out of the seat so they don't snap in a short time isntead.
