They move front to back and they reclined back, but now i can't get them to come back up. what can i do to get the seats to come back up. i have checked the fuse and it is not bad. the wires under the seat that control the seat are all attached good. when you press the lever to bring the seat back up there is no sound from the motor.

See if the motor is receiving power to move forward. Test it by checking for reverse. The polarity should just reverse. If not, check the switch. Here is a guide and wiring diagrams BELOW so you can see if the motor is getting power.
