Any ideas about the power seats, which just stopped

    My '95 Lebaron's power driver's seat stopped working about a week ago.
    No up, no down, no forward, no back. I was hoping to figure it out
    without posting.

    It's not the circuit breaker because the power top and the power locks
    are still working.

    I can't see any connectors under the seat that could have come loose.
    I did maul the cap of a pen moving the seat up, but when I put the
    seat back the cap was there.

    I appreciate any suggestions of likely failures.

    That seat has a hot wire and a ground at the connector, start there, if you
    have ground and 12 volts, your problem is in the seat adjuster/switch in the
    seat

    After studying the shop manual, I finally found the connector under
    the rear of the seat, and it seemed to be ok when I jiggled it.

    I was forced to take apart the door again -- Well I didn't have to
    unhook it, I could reach my hand up from the bottom -- and push on the
    connector. I couldn't even feel it move, but somehow that was enough
    to make the seat work again. I didn't feel anything go click, as if
    the connector latch was catching.

    I'll admit that I was in the door the day the seat stopped working**,
    but usually connectors stay on a lot better than this.

    **I was also chomping things up by moving the seat forward.
