During a trip back from a July 4th weekend at the beach, a friend of mine reclined the passenger seat to take a nap; when he awoke and began raising the seatback, he noticed that only the right side of the seat was moving up and the seat began to twist and face the driver's side of the car.

It appears that the motor on the left side of the seatback is dead. Every other powered seat function works fine. Is there a manual override anywhere? My driver's seat was wacky when I purchased the car 6 years ago... it kept moving by itself due to a faulty switch contact. I wound up prying the contacts out with a screwdriver to lock my seat in a comfortable spot for myself.

I'd like to fix both seats considering I'm selling the car in about a month (reluctantly) and do not want to include in the fine print, "you must be under 5'4" to fit into the driver's seat and be able to lay down to fit into the passenger seat."

Thanks!
