Can I manually move a power seat??

Well after thinking that the problem with the seats was the power switch, I find out that it wasnt. I put the new switch in and its a no go on any kind of movement or sound. I check voltage at one of the motors and as soon as I hit the switch it receives 14 to 15 volts but does not move at all or make a sound.

Is thre a way that I can manually move the rails so that its in the possition that I want??

Never mind I figured out the problem. All of the motors were rusted/frozen on the inside. I detached the mechanical piece that they turn and used a Robogrip to break the motors loose by turning on it. I was 0/3, now I'm 2/3 working. One more to go. Gotta love it when these things go your way

Always a great feeling to figure stuff out on your own.

Yeah but it ended up stayin 2/3 which is still pretty good. The motor that makes the back of the seat go up and down wouldnt budge. But what I did was move the cabel to anotehr motor and bring it down. I dont ever move it from that spot so I'm good with being able to move front, back,and the front of the seat up and down.
