Default Remove C6 driver seat NEED HELP Please

The driver seat on my C6 is stuck all the way back n I can’t move it. It’s power n I have looked everywhere to find help someone please help me. I can get to the front two bolts but not the back have looked at the front under the seat but can’t figure it out. I know it’s probably the power supply under the seat and I got the replacement cord but can’t remove the seat to fix. All fuses are good and also the air bag light has started coming on for that side. Any video or some help please fellow C6 owners

Make sure the plug is secure. There was an issue with the plug coming loose and triggering the airbag light. Maybe it just wiggled a little and you are lucky.

Do you have a service manual? My C5 manual has a procedure for manually moving the seat forward if the motor has failed.

There are some videos on YouTube that may be helpful. Just go to YouTube and search on "how to manually move a c6 corvette power seat".

Your only non-destructive hope is to access the wiring connectors under the seat, and then provide 12v directly to the pins going to the seat motor front/back. That is what I did and it was a major PITA because my seat is always all the way back and down and my hands are not small.
