can you hear the motor trying to move it?

if you can hear it be careful because trying to adjust it can burn out the motor. look under the seat in the rails for something jamming it, like a coin in the tracks.

if you cant hear it check fuses first, these cars are weird and there could be more than one fuse that has something to do with the seat so fuck it check them all lol. start checking for loose wiring harnesses under the seat where the motor is. unplug and plug back in, if you see one going to the seat belt dont unplug it because it might throw a code.

if it were me i would unhook the battery while fucking with the fuses and wiring harnesses for seats because anything airbag or srs or the pretension seat belt stuff will probably throw a code the dealer has to reset.
