Default driver seat problem plz help

Hey guys, I have a little problem with my driver seat, I was wondering if any of you have the same problem or even better know how to fix it.

Well first I have the black leather seat that comes with power moving.

The switch that moves the seat front and back works 100%. But the other switch that supposes to move the back of the seat front and back is not working.

I moved the back of the seat all the way to the back so I can wash my car, but when I tried to put the back of the seat forward to sit in, it won’t come back

So now my seat it stuck all the way back and it feel like I’m laying down while driving.

Can anyone plz help.

I have the same problem the reclining portion from time to time doesn't work. The I got a paper clip and put it in side the little space between the switch and the casing and put the paper clip under the switch and just kept going around in there few time too see if it could clear anything stuck under the switch and after about 2 to 3 minutes are messing with it it finally started to work. Now I keep a paper clip in my car. Lol

Don't hold down the button, just press it and release it a few times and it might be able to move.

That worked once for me when the seat was stuck in the full cholo-lean position.
