Default Sports seat jammed in forward position

2004 Sports seats out of 2004 GT3 installed in my car worked great about a week. One day I use the upper release **** to fold the back forward & it gets jammed in that position. Few weeks later the passenger seat does the exact same thing.
Thinking a cable came loose I take the upper seat cover off. All cables etc are intact so i assume the back rest adjusting motor has jammed, they are welded to the seat back. Anyone know how to fix this?

Did you jump the power for the seat back to get them to work? In my experience you have to jump power to the backs. Did this about 6 months ago. They are NOT plug and play. I had to vampire clip from harness power to seat back power and it all worked.

Yeah I was thinking about trying that but seems like the same problem would repeat soon.

Nope, the backs on those seats are all powered.
