Volvo 850 Electric Seat disassembly & repair

After someone sat in the back seat, behind the driver's seat, I have been unable to adjust the forward recline. The backward recline still operated and the seat is now fully reclined. The drive mechanism is apparently in the upper, back, section of the seat and I am unable to access it. I can hear the motor, mechanism or relay activate when I try the switch, which leads me to believe that there is a loose connection or that the mechanism is jammed.
Any thoughts on how to access this drive mechanism, diagnose or repair this problem?

Had the same thing happen to me but it was actually in the controll the switches broke off the board and when I would try to adjust it would make contact for a second making the clicking noise. So I would try pulling the controll apart first its an easy fix if its that
