How expensive it will be will depend on whether or not you can get the seat out. If the seat is all the way down and all the way to the back, you cannot access the rear bolts to pull the seat. There are ways to move the seat forward depending on what the failure is, but sometimes it is not that simple and you have to end up destroying the seat to get it out.

Reach under the seat and play with the connectors. They are known to come loose on occasion.

Depends on what is wrong. You cannot buy parts to seat track, motors, etc. from GM. Only comes as a complete unit, $2500+. You can buy individual items through reputable Corvette salvage yards, etc.

Check the power module wiring- it's the red black 2 pin connection under the seat
The wire grid may hitting the wires causing damage - easy fix just replace with pigtail.
this happened to me- seat just stopped working, pulled seat cushion and sure enough the wire grid was the culprit.
