I was fiddling around, cleaning and I moved my driver’s seat all the way forward. Left it that way overnight. Went out to reinstall my clean floor mats and the seat won’t move back. It won’t raise or lower or tilt. Just stuck in the most forward position. Steering wheel tilts and telescopes. What have I done? I read about some button near the fuse box that has a reset switch?

Sorry for your trouble. I don't know there is a reset switch or not but the computer under the seat for the seat position control can be reset disconnecting the battery for several minutes. I'd try it if fuses were all OK. But you will loose the stored memory data for the positioning doing this.Originally Posted by gebo

Only thing I could add is while your battery is disconnected, turn your ignition key to the on position. What that will do is discharge the capacitors with the key in the on position, why it's a not a bad idea to do is because capacitors will be discharged as they store energy, and by doing this will enable a better reset. There's all kinds of circuit boards etc in cars not unlike any other computer component. I had a buggy laptop that was glitching with usb connectivity issues causing unusual problems, I tried different things to try and fix it short of re-writing the whole drive. So I powered down my laptop, took the battery out, held down the power button for 1 minute, put the battery back in, powered it up, and it fixed the problem. This is the same principle as turning your key the on position to discharge the capacitors in your car.
I don't know if this is the nature to your particular problem though, you might have gotten spray cleaner into a switch or something not sure what's going on there, but since we are in the discussion if resets I thought I'd add this to the discussion.

It was a loose connector under the seat. It looked connected but it wasn't. It was the yellow one.
