The ratchet device for the seat-back has malfunctioned leaving the seat-back all the way forward, which makes it non-usable. I have since switched seats and put the passenger seat on the driver’s side. Dealer was no help. Is this fixable or do I need to find a 3rd Gen driver’s power seat bottom? Is there a after-market for this or is it just pick and pulls? Thanks.

How many little motors do you have in the drivers seat base
Some Dodges have as many as 3 & if i recall correctly, they are interchangeable

Online you will find the motors & even complete bases at places like Geno's Garage
You can see what the base of the seat looks like

ignore the guy that is attempting to repair the seat, just stop watching it after you see the base

All the motors work fine and the seat bottom goes up, down, forward and aft. It’s the manual recline control (lever, rod, ratchet assy) for the seat back that’s malfunctioned. I’ll take a look at Geno’s Garage for a base frame.
