Hi, my motor has stopped working on my drivers seat and I was wondering how if it is possible to move the seat forward manually until I can replace the motor and switch?

No you cannot manually adjust that seat. Have you checked the fuse yet? Because I have always found and blown fuse on those caused by the seat motor under the seat rubbing against the seat frame and blowing the fuse.

I have not checked the fuse, but it does not matter is the motor works or not I do not have the control for the seat and cannot afford one.

The wire under the seat rubs against the seat frame and blows the fuse. So the power seat switch is missing?

Here is the link to used fan beige switch for $34.99 that is honestly your best bet rather than trying to jump power to the motor.

I guess I will go that route if there is absolutely no other way. I literally cannot drive in its current position. Is almost all the way back and I cannot reach the pedals.

Trying to jump it would be a real pain, so the switch would be your best bet. That is what I would do.
