Okay so i was sitting in my car waiting to go into work when i was drinking a drink and i droped the cap in between the seat, well in order to get the cap i moved my seat all the way up, but when i tried to move the seat back it wouldn't move. So now i am driving around a little too close for comfort to the stearing wheel. :behind: Is there a way to take the seat apart myself and check out the wiring? Maybe the motor went out, idk. Any suggestions?

the seat comes off with just 4 bolts...check the track and make sure something isn't blocking it. You could also have broken the seat rails as they are made of aluminum and break like glass. Its easy to take it out with only one electrical harness to unplug. Take a look and see whats going on.

And the power point thing if your car has one. They're all on the same circuit w/ the seat. They lighter and pp can work loose over time and short out, especially if you use a cell charger in it. Could be you jostled it when you went for the drink...
i checked the track all clear. It just won't move whatever i do. So i am ganna check the fuses. check to see if my lighter is workin first but which fuse should i check for the seat? it's a 96 gt by the way just in case things are a little different on the other years.

Could just have to tap the motor while holding the buttong back. That's what I did for a little while and now that doesn't even work. I'm looking for a seat track from a manual seat. I hate power seats.

Hey,
See my post by CLICKING HERE.
That has the fuse diagram attached.
Best of luck buddy.
I checked the fuse and it's gone bad. So that is probably my problem. When i looked at the fuse though it was a 30 instead of a 25 does this matter? I am going to buy a new 25 fuse because that's what my chilton repair book says should be there. So i'll replace it and let u guys know what happens. thanx for all your help. 
Buy more than one. Fuses are put into a cicuit to protect other components in the event of a failure. If that failure (too much current draw) still exists then the one you put in will pop immediately and you're still troubleshooting. If you put in a fuse that's rated higher than the original you run the risk of over overheating the wiring or something else and starting a fire at worst and melting insulation at best - so dont do it. Use a lower amperage one if you don't have the correct size, odds are if the circuit is working ok the lower rated one will work for a while.

Yea mine barely moves at all, and when it does, it squeaks and grinds real bad. It might be a common problem.
