W126 Passenger power seat stuck

I searched and got info on how to manually move them with a drill. But I thought I would post just to get some ideas on this one.

Passenger seat problems:
back of lower seat will not come up or down
entire seat will not come forward or back
outer most harness was unplugged (if removing seat, it stays plugged in), when plugged in the seat goes into an endless cycle of waning to back the seat up.

So all the motors run, they just are jammed at the gears. I can hear them try to engage and see the cable tense up. The tracks are clean and clear. Seat is now removed for bench testing.

Ideas?

By the way, removing a seat with it all the way back AND down is NOT fun!
