Default Seat stuck in forward position

The seat on the passenger GS4 is stuck all the way forward. When I try and move it back nothing happens. I think it may have something to do with a fuse or maybe even bad motor. Is there a way to manually move it forward?

Maybe reach down there and manually rotate, some seat motors have a cable from motor to gearbox, not sure on the gs. If you can remove seat bolts to get better access but that will be dificult with seat forward

Maybe there is something wedged on the tracks of the slide rails or possibly a bad motor. You can remove the seat very easily. There is a bolt on each corner of the seat. It’s bolted to the floor board. Once the seat it out you can fully examine the rails, the motor are also located under the seat.

Default Recliner seat does not come all the way back

recliner shaft was stopping due to seat back sponge getting caught while rotating. I cut out some of the sponge and blue plastic piece. Problem solved!!
