Thumbs up Power seat issues with 94 z190 talari

I was using the car wash sprayer early today and after I got through rinsing all the soap out of the interior the seat doesn't adjust. I hear the switch click in both positions (forward/back) but nothing from the motor. I checked the wires underneath to see if they came loose during the spraying process but they look ok. I looked at all the breakers on the dash board and don't see any that have been reset.

Any ideas from the gurus on this here sight?

    Use compressed air on it , and around the seat motor-assembly. Don't go crazy , but air it out good.
    Then try giving the motor a shot of WD40 and see what happens. It will dissipate the moisture that might be left in the motor.
    It will probably work in a day or two , but water ain't good on the motor.
    It's basically a "automotive" power seat motor that is under there.
    Lube should bring it back to life.
    Was it slow to move before you got it wet?

    Yes... Just because it's a boat doesn't mean you should be spraying water on the inside of it. Maybe as it dries out it'll come back to life.

    I did not spray directly under the seat nor under the dash. I have washed it previously this way many times in the 20 years I have owned the boat.

    Colorado - When I first cranked it to pull it out of the marina I let it run for quite a while and pretty much checked to verify all switches but don't remember actually checking that one. I did all on dash and obviously the engine cover switch so I could check for any leaks. I think I probably did check it and the only switch I had trouble with was the trim switch (down) after I raised engine to the trailer position. But then I suffer from the CRS disease that seems to run rampant with some of us old timers! LOL.
