Default Power Seat Stuck! 1995 Can it move manual?

Hi everyone,
I just got me a 1995 ranger and it's awesome and badass, except the driver side power seat is stuck.

-it's stuck tilted way forward
-the + button makes sound but nothing moves, the - button doesn't make sound nor feel like it's clicking a contact.

I don't care about power seats and just want to adjust it manually, is this possible? Does the bolt area (butt area) holding the tilt/back portion of the seat have some little lever I'm missing?

Thanks

Being as it isn't actually a Ranger seat and we don't know what it is out of, we don't know how it works and might not regardless.

Power seats weren't a factory option in 1995?

It looks ford ish when I googled other ford power seats. It has the two + and - rockers facing upward.

I don't think any Ranger ever had power seats but I could be wrong. May be out of some other Ford vehicle. Modification.

You're wrong GLH. Some of the 93-97 trucks, and maybe even older came with power seats. But they only had adjustable backs, I don't think they went up and down or had power lumbar.

Ok so I found a tiny little nail-looking nub which I think was what the tilt lever attached to.

It's on a spring and seems to cam a block that holds the tilt in place so in sure that's the tilt lever attachment point.

Sadly though I still wasn't able to tilt the seat because...

-it seems somewhat rusted in place, at first I couldn't move it at all but then after snacking with a hammer and playing with it I can now move it partially like 1/2 way or so (I tried with all my force but my fingers were in serious pain at that point lol)

-I can't fine a replacement tilt knob/lever online for that design. Front what I can tell most other fords have a similar cam/spring system but a little flat platform instead of a nail-nub

It looks like a flathead nail upside down where I'm sure that handle would attach

I'm going to try oiling the mechanism and Mabey smacking it some more with a hammer to see if I can loosen it

go to the junk yard. And get the part. same part as the ford explorer's seat. That is what i did. Took the whole back off, 2 bolts then take off the side plastic, more bolts. the whole spring mechanism and handle will come off, cheep easy fix.
