If you need to move the seat with a bad switch you can disconnect the cables and move them with a cordless drill. At least that's what the PO of my car did before I removed the switches and fixed it. It also looked like there was a manual gear I could have used to move the seat.

I'm not sure you can jump the switch since I believe it holds all of the motor leads at ground potential until you hit switch opening the respective lead from ground and allowing the power from pin 2 to move the motor but I honestly can't remember. If your brave you could try it and worst case blow a fuse.

Pins 1 and 2 are your commons according to the relay drawing and pin 2 looks to be the +

Removing the switch was not really a big deal while its still in the car. I cut the wire ties under the seat and was able to get 6-8 inches of slack in the wires, enough to at least unsolder the switch easily. I would think that's a lot easier than pulling the whole seat.

Good luck
