power seat problems

I was backing my drivers seat all the way back and the computer board came loose and lodged under the seat. Now the seat will not go forward and I can't take out the bolts to remove the seat to fix.

I tried to mess with it intact but there is no room to look at wires etc. I also want to take fix the leather on the seat and fix my butt warmer, but I need to find out how to move the seat forward enough to fix. I can hear clicking from somewhere like a solenoid when I hit the switch so it's getting power somewhere. Is there anyway to move the seat manually or maybe jump a wire to the motor under the seat?

Why can't you remove the bolts and lift the seat?

the seat is all the way back and covering the bolts in the back. I need to move the seats forward to access the rear bolts.

You should be able to remove the four bolts that hold the seat to the frame. I had to do this when I could not access the 50T bolts that hold the seat frame to the car frame.
