Default seat fuse keeps blowing

So I pulled the seat to look at wires. I cannot find any damaged wire but found this piece of metal under seat. Anyone have a clue what it is?

Looks like the spacer/guide(?) that goes on the seat rails. Not all of mine were tight when I removed my seat and one fell off. Just slide it back on to match the other side.

BTW, my fuse keeps blowing as well, but only when I sit in the seat. Otherwise it will work fine. I have gone through the wiring twice and can't find anything obvious. Even wrapped some wires just in case. No luck so far.

I am now going to look at the seat control module. I'm thinking that maybe it has a short that shows up when flexed by weight in the seat.

Let us know if you find the cure for yours.
