Just noticed that the driver seat does not move up down back or front, even the power headrest doesn't move. This is a convertible 2 door. But, when I lift the lever on the side of the seat which moves the seat forward on its own to let passengers get in the back it moves. When I released it, it went back to where it was. Scanned it but no codes. Activated it via the scanner in all positions and everything moves. Does this mean the fuse is good? If not necessarily do you know where it's located? The seat switch is located on the driver's door. Trying to eliminate whether it's the switch or something else.

It seems like the position switch for the back of the seat is not working correctly or the seat controller when bad.
