My front passenger seat will no longer retract backwards. The other controls work fine. I can move the seat up/down, recline and adjust lumbar support. I moved the seat all the way forward today to make room in the back for my son's school project. All connections seem fine and the fuses are all good. Is there a way to manually adjust the seat back? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You moved the seat all the way forward and the plug pulled off the fore/aft motor under the seat. Here's what you do:

From the rear seat, pull away the carpet trim (hangs between the floor and the seat), you'll see the motor on the inboard side of the seat. Look around and you'll find the loose wires and plug laying on the floor. The plug is inserted from the side onto the back of the motor.

We had a different scenario. Front passenger seatback angle adjustment would only move forward, not backwards. Seat base fore/aft and lumbar adjustment worked fine. Ended up having to take the seat out to get to the seat controls assembly, and buy a new one for around $100.

Thanks, the connector was loose but not completely off. Quick fix.
