The passenger seat (electric) is stuck in the reclined position. I have checked fuses, as well as the switch. The seat does move back and forth fine it also seems to recline great it is the return to upright that is the issue. Can I manually override this and get the seat back upright?

Hi AZ_Sniper,

Since you are able to recline, the power circuit are good and not any fault with fuses.

The switch is faulty. To over ride, you need to unplug the reclining motor and apply battery voltage to one terminal and ground the other. Reversing the polarity would move the recliner in opposite directions.

Wire colors for the reclining motor are 1 Green and 1 Yellow.

We found the slide motor, but where is the reclining motor? I see a yellow and green connector, but not yellow and green wires
