Default can't move driver's seat

Driver's seat module doesn't work, passenger side did, swapped modules, driver's side still doesn't work. Need to remove seat to change hydro hoses for convert. top. Any recommendations on how I can remove seat?
Thanks.

Have you checked the fuse for the drivers seat?

If that is ok then you are going to need very thin hands to get to the 4 hex bolts underneath.

Jim,Thanks. Which fuse is it? I didn't find any bad fuses on the panel behind the driver's door. My hands are not skinny so need to see if there is a better alternative!

Hi Tony,
Should be fuse No1 20A drivers side. If you checked it with a meter and it is ok then you may need a small child or a lengthened hex key.
To prove the drivers seat module, put it in the passenger side. If it doesn't work you can take the cover off. You may find the forward end tracks damaged, which is repairable.

The 20A fuse in No. 1 was ok and I have power to the head rest and lumbar pump. Didn't find a break in the seat module. The seat is back most of the track so I have good access to the front two hex bolts. Will try a couple of ways to reach the back bolts.
Thanks.

If you do manage to get the seat out, check the little micro switches are all working correctly.

Will do as soon as I get the seat out. By then I might know how to check the micro switches too.
Thanks again.
Tony
