The Seats Moved!

I first applied 12V at the harness connection under the dead pedal in the driver’s side foot well with a ground to the chassis. I made good connections but the switch didn’t move the seat. I tried the same thing at a connector on the passenger side, with no movement as well. I then went to plan B, which was suggested by you guys, to go directly to the seat motors. It was a tight squeeze, but I was able to get my paw under the seat from behind and remove the springs holding the carpet cover that is over the seat mechanism at the seats front. As I was able to remove the front seat bolts with the seat in it’s current position, I was able to push the seat up with the back bolts still in just enough to see the electrical connectors. Removing the larger of the two connectors revealed the male portion of an 8 pin connector. I scavenged an 8 pin female connector with long enough leads to allow me to apply 12V positive and negative to various pins. Once I found the leads that raised the rear of the seat up I was able to access the bolts. I really didn’t think I’d be able to get my hands in there but there was just enough room. I appreciate everyone who helped me get my arms around this challenge. It seems that whenever I have an electrical problem, the more I think about it the dumber I get.
