[s-cars] How do you troubleshoot a broken driver seat motor?

[motogo1]

I had this happen on the passengers side. In my case, the wires were
catching on something under the seat and eventually wore through the
insulation, shorting out and blowing the fuse. Remove the fuse and it resets
after it cools down. If this is the problem, then you have another problem.
How do you move the seat all the way back, so you can remove the bolts that
hold the seat down, which you need to remove to tilt the seat back and fix
the frayed wires? In my case I was able to wiggle the wires so they
seperated a bit, not blowing the fuse, and moved the seat back. If that
doesn't work, I suppose you could cut the wires from the connector, pull
them from under the seat, and then reattach to the connector to get the seat
to move.
