The tracks in my MN12 have some issues. I think they may have rust in them, or something.
Whenever I hit the switch to move the seat, it won't budge under its own power. I have to slide my butt towards the front and/or back to nudge it along.
Do any of the functions work? What about the tilt motors?

the seats dont have a fuse.  look for a silver canister in your fuse panel.  thats a circuit breaker.  it resets when it cools down so the seats work again.  if its tripped or come close severl times, they can be burned open.

I tried that when my seat quit working. It didn't turn out so good :( Fat fingers and small springs don't mix. I used a jumper and was able to move the seat. Good luck.
