No power in drivers seat Help!

[Carrie Mulka]

My brother left me his Sporttrac when he died. So we are having a power issue with the drivers seat. Read the book. Disconnected battery to replace blown fuse. When trying to move seat back it blows the new fuse. Can't see any obstacles in the tracks. Help! Suggestions?

Pinched wire or switch shorting. Or motor bad causing overload.

Thanks. Found a wire that stripped with the seat movement. It's replaced and cabled up to prevent it from happening again : )
