Drivers Seat wiring connector unplugged, can't reach it seat is too low

I normally have the seat down as low as it will go and had to take it in to have the battery replaced. They must have tried to raise it because it's now unplugged with seat all the way down and I can't reach it. Is there a manual way to raise the seat? None of the power seat buttons work now on drivers seat only.

Can you get to the four bolts that hold the seat rail down? If so, remove the bolts, tilt seat back and check harness...

So you took the car in to the dealer with a working power driver seat. When you picked up the car the seat no longer has power functions? Am I understanding what you're asking?

If so let the dealer fix their mistake.

that doesn't make sense, if they raised the seat up and then it unplugged itself then how did it get power to go down again? also there should be enough slack on the cable to go up down backwards and forwards,
and as above if it worked fine before going into the garage and it doesn't now then take it back to them.....

I took it to a tire store for the battery, they won't do anything and I am not sure it happened there. I am assuming that when they lowered it back down before giving it back to me it came unplugged. All I know is it is down all the way (which is where I like it) and I can just barely feel under the seat and feel the large connector is unplugged. I was able to slide the two parts back together but don't think it snapped in place. Next step will be to see if I can unbolt the seat like Soundkillr said. I was hoping there was some manual way to crank it up.

Keep us posted.

I thought if our seat came disconnected with the battery connected, our airbags would go off? Or was that g35 only?

The airbag has a separate connector under the seat, it's yellow. I disconnected it and another small, one wire connector (seat heater I think) to try to get better access to the large connector which is deeper back from the front of the seat. Still couldn't get it so I re-connected the airbag and small connector. Airbag warning light came on so I followed the air bag reset procedure found in another thread here.
