[V8] Driver's side seatback

[Jeremy Ward]

I seem to remember when I took my passenger seat out to run wires to the rear speakers a similar issue after reinstallation.  Try unplugging the motors below and reconnecting.  This may 'reset' the position it thinks the seat is in.  There might be a procedure in the manual for this, but I don't recall.  Whatever I did to my passenger seat fixed it (wish I could remember what it was)...  :-)

Even with the seat bottom positioned/pivoted so that the front end is tilted
down and the rear section is tilted up, the seatback just doesn't go very
far forward..........the passenger side seatback definitely has a greater
range of movement forward..............I wonder if some teeth/gears were
stripped but the motors and all don't make any funny sounds as best as I can
tell...............

I guess my girlfriend won't be asking for the keys very often...........
