So I am trying to remove my drivers , but is all the way back and I can't get the rear bolts. I would just move it , but everything out of the engine bay so no power. Anyway to move the seat manually? Or does anyone know where the nearest power connector is ( not the one under the seat, I can't reach that one) so I can just power probe it. Thanks

Interesting question I was just tearing my stock seats apart too save the adj lumbar support to use in my new seats. Short of drilling the bolts out from the bottom I really don't know what you can do with out power. the hrns under it has some slack and you might be able to get enough of I to tap power long enough to move it. If you can't get it there it goes right out from under the seat to the side where it meets up with the main hrns. I think its black and black/white but not for sure there.

Sorry I did not see this earlier. I had the same thing happen. All you needed was a long enough wire, two of them, and attach them to the battery terminals and directly feed it to the plug on the seat. Have someone press the switch and move the seat while you hold it, or vice versa.

I had the same problem. I needed to get the seat out but nearly everything is pulled under the hood, except the fuse/relay box.

I hooked a motorcycle battery up to the box and got my seat moved. I don’t know how good of an idea that is because I didn’t know if I was taking the chance at frying something
