I have a 2003 C4S and the passenger seat will not move back or forward. I disconnected the plug that connects the motors to the seat, and the motor that would move the seat back and forward has infinite resistance. The other motors have about 1.4Ohms. When moving the switches, I could get 12V applied to each of the motors. My problem is that the seat is as far back as it can go, and I cannot access the bolts there. Is there any way to manually move the seat forward, or to remove it by some other means? Also, I tried wiggling the wires to the motor, but no luck.

Thanks for your help.

Just in case anyone else has the same issue, I was able to manually move the seat forward by cutting a slot into the end of the motor shaft. I used a dremel cutoff wheel and slotted it (and part of the motor housing as well), and then after a few hundred turns of a screwdriver, move the seat far enough forward to access the torx bolts to remove the seat.
