Wierd power seat problem!!!

Started my truck (2007 EB 4x4, 5.4) this morning with my daughter in her car seat behind me, we get about 1/4 mile down the street and all of a sudden I notice myself moving!

My daughter starts freaking out, I pull over and my seat is still moving. I end up COMPLETELY reclined, all the way down and all the way back. The seat pinned my daughter in her seat, she's flipping out...I had to unbuckle her car seat while she's screaming because her legs are pinned and have to slide her car seat out sideways with her in it.

Seat does NOT move at all.

Now, before all of this I had heard a "ticking" sound coming from inside my seat, been doing it for months but since everything worked and not dummy lights came on I just ignored it. Apparently, this was not a good idea because now it is not ticking and the seat is not working....

Going to check fuses later but I am doubting that is the problem...

Anyone run into a similar problem?

My power pedals are not working either, they worked fine until this morning...still have power to the seat as when I got in after work and played with the buttons I got the seat to recline about another 2". Power lumbar is still working. Passenger seat works fine.

I would start by checking the memory module for a failure.
Switches may have a short.
What truck? What year?

If it won't move back up at all, I would say that it is a problem in the motor of the seat itself or in the memory module like said above. I doubt the fuse has anything to do with it.
