2. Last fall I moved the passenger side front seat back angle way forward in order to carry some odd shaped articles. Now it will not move toward the recline position. Anyone riding in that seat would have to bend forward.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

In both cases cleaning the switch contacts would be a prudent first step, Radio Shack used to sell a small aerosol can of contact cleaner. Pop the knobs of and the plastic covering and you can direct the straw into the small opening nearest the switch operators on the seat control.
Window controls seem to indicate the electrical is not getting from the switch to the motor, could be the window lifts are simply frozen in place due to lack of operation or could be no power getting to them. I'd pop the door cards off and using a test light determine if power is getting to the motors. If not it could be a wiring issue. If power is getting to the dual "green & black" wiring connector in the door shell it would point to the lifts being faulty.
Common problem is wiring from the switch to the window lift wears/breaks at the point it passes through the rubber accordion conduit between the chassis and the door.
