I moved my driver's seat up as far forward as it would go. I was fiddling around and left it like that overnight. Went out today to put the cleaned mats back in and the seat won't budge. Up, down, backwards, tilt, etc. The steering wheel will telescope and tilt. Any ideas? I just had my seat recovered last week. I looked for loose connectors and found none. I heard there was a lockout button that is different than a fuse???

Many older lexus vehicles here. Usually one side goes bad. If nothing works at all, I would suspect a power issue.
Worst case scenario, if you have a wiring diagram, you can supply manual power to move it into the position you want and leave it there.

Found it! It was the black hinge over the big white connecter under the seat. Even though the connector was connected, I had to push this black lever over the top of the white connector. It was like this black plastic hinged arm that had to flip over the connector. Apparently since I had pushed the seat all the way forward, as the seat traveled that somehow that black arm got pulled backwards. It was weird in that it had virtually no resistance.
