Thanks Spook.

I guess I am just a lucky guy.
Got down to the electronics board on the driver side seat controls and lo and behold the xx pin plug that connects said board to the car brains was halfway pulled out. Plugged it in fully and all is well in Mudville once again. I even have a plan for reattaching the entire unit to the seat where it was before someone (not me I swear) yanked it out without bothering with the attaching screws. Now I am on the passenger side hoping that I will find the same issue except in this case none of the pin plug would be attached.

Others may profit from this in knowing that if one function on your power seat is working, in my cast the tilt, and others are not (seat back angle) then you might have the same issue where the pins have been half yanked out of there sockets. I did not know that was possible. So to summarize for my drivers side power seat learning experience, I started out with a seat that was stuck almost all the way back in its tracks with the seat back way, way back to accomodate the giant size previous owner. He must have been a body guard. The only control that full worked was the one that tilted the entire seat. The fore and aft only worked on the left side but was stuck on the right. The seat back made no sounds at all. First I did the cable sheath shortening trick to compensate for the expansion over time of the same to get the left side cable/gear combination working. Then I fought to get to the xx pin plug and fully pushed that in. Now I am fore and afting, tilting, reclining and declining like there is no tomorrow.

Thanks,
