Electric Seat Stuck..

Hi all,
Hope someone can help....
Today (while waiting for my wife) i put the drivers seat to the fully reclined position. However when she returned the seat would not move to the original position (all others work ..tilt, back, forward) but you can hear the motors running.
Checked on this main site and it says Seat module needs replacing. I rang Ford for quote and they said it was the "memory module" ...is this the same thing ?
Don't want to order/find the wrong part.
Also is it possible to manually return the seat to the upright position ? I drove 6 miles with it fully reclined today and can't do that too much !
Car is a 97(P), 2.9 Ultima
Thanks for any advice given,
Tashy Man

A little too far for me  , I could have at least put it back for you.
I know there are a couple from Scotland on here and perhaps someone will have an answer for you soon, Good luck

Hi Simmo,
Yeah i saw that for getting the seat back in a driveable position and will be attempting it today......what i really need to know is what part to replace to enable it to work in the future (i.e Seat module, memory module etc)
Thanks,

T-M. May be once it is back in the correct position you will find that the modules themselves are in fact OK. If I read the thread correctly it seem that the seat went beyond a 'stop' ,and once that was overcome the thing worked as normal. No doubt you'll find out and let us know. Good luck.

Spot on Simmo....
Got the seat out (but still electrically connected) located the motor...got the wife to press the button (had to explain HOW to press the button several times...doh) and "assisted the cog around until it bit......put back together...all working fine.
Thanks for all your help......
