First try spraying contact cleaner into the switch box and work the levers back and forth.

If that will not cure it then you can remove the cable from the motor end and insert it into a variable speed drill with a reverse function and move the seat forward. You will need small arms and hands though. I have done this several times on Range Rovers.

easiest way to tell is do you have airbags?

No airbags so i guess its not a soft dash

will try the other suggestions of fuses and cleaning switchs and let you all know how it goes

then it'll be ready for the next problem
