Jason,

The switch may be defective. Take a tester with a light (looks like a screwdriver with a wire on it). try all wires on the switch. It should light up with one. This will be your power. Write the color down. Now try one wire at a time. touch the tester to a wire then try to move the seat in all directions. The light should come on for one of the directions. Write the color of the wire with the direction. After testing all wires, there may be 2 unidentified wires. One is your ground and one will probably be your back position wire. The black is normally used for a ground. If you did not identify a function with a color wire (ie. Lime), and no other colors move the seat back, then you know which wire is not getting the power. Get a piece of insulated wire to enable to jump the switch. While holding the switch in the back position (you may need someone to help you) take the insulated wire and touch the wire used for power and the wire for the back position. If there is a short, it will just spark and the fuse will blow (probably a 30 amp fuse). If your switch is defective, the seat will move back. If it clicks and does not move back, something may be jamming your rails.

First thing to do is look under the seat... Most of the concerns I see where
the seat has been moved a great distance and then wont return involve
foreign object... flashlights, forgotten travel mugs (if you live in the US,
maybe a misplaced revolver)... that sort of stuff.... Before we get too
techie.... look for the obvious.
