Seat problem

Hi All,
Have a slight problem with the drivers seat. it's blowing the fuse as soon as it's replaced so it doesn't give me the chance to move it so I can unbolt it and look for the short!
Is there another way around this as I can't get to the bolts in the current location.
Can i manually move it somehow?
thanks in advance

Maybe disconnect the switch at the door and see if it will still blow when you put in a fuse?

Or disconnect the harness socket at the seat floor and try to apply power to the fore aft motor through there (or through the seat adjustment harness)?
