Default Driver's seat power failure

I was trying to locate my phone(don't ask) and moved my seat straight forward for access. Worked fine until
I tried to bring it back . Nothing. None of the 3 controls do anything. No sound, just dead . Now at 6 foot I can't even get behind the seat to drive it somewhere to have it looked at. Never had any problem before(other than the head rest). Don't use the controls that much. Battery is good, all other electrics ok.
And yes
I did try a search on the forum.
Thoughts? Help?
Thank you in advance.

Occasionally in other posts, problems with the seat movement were determined to be a wire had chaffed on the seat mount or moving the seat caused 1 of the two connectors to become loose. The loose connector can be accessed from the front of seat by kneeling and looking under the seat. Other times the seat module was at fault. This was discovered by swapping the working opposite seat module with the non working seat module. Sure there is a fuse for this function, but unless a wire chaffed, it should not have blown. This info may get you started to a solution.

You like spaghetti ? See page 89 for a 2003 : notice there are different versions of seats .

If you determain the version you can put power on the connector and drive the seat back .

The control module reverses polarity on the same 2 wires to the same motor for backwards and fwd .

The motor drive wires for horizontal translation are SD3 - 7 ( White / Blue wire ) and SD3 - 8 ( White / Red wire )
