Default Need help asap!! My drivers side power seat is stuck all the way forward...

I moved my power seat all the way forward so I could reach under the seat and get at a credit card that had fallen in a hard to reach spot.

The good news: I got the credit card
The bad news: Now the seat is stuck (no power)

1. I checked under the seat and all the wiring harnesses look ok.
2. All other power options are functioning properly including the passenger side power seat.
3. I've looked in my manual for fuses or relays and can't find anything related to the power seats. What am I missing here?

Any other suggestions??? I'm 6'4" and there is no way I can fit into the car now! If I can't figure this out I might have to have the car towed to the dealer (or find a really small person to drive it there for me).

Default Happened to me this summer!!!

I think its a design flaw, cause when i pushed my seat all the way forward it lost power cause as the seat went forward it crimped one of the wires underneath the seat... did not notice until i took the seat out. So either you get it towed or find a small person lol.

Default With no power was it difficult to get at the mounts to remove the seat? Also...

If I can get the seat out what should I look for (location or wire color)?

Thanks for the help!
