Disabling part of the power seat
So I want to start off saying I HATE not having the memory seats.
When I first bought the truck, it took me a month to find a comfortable spot - and then when I took it for the first oil change the tech messed with the seat and it took me a couple weeks to get it back again.
I don't mind the forward / back - but the front and rear tilt is a PITA to find the "sweet spot" for me.
I want to disable the functions shown below. I was able to easily disconnect the front motor which disables the orange arrow, but for the life of me I can't locate the rear motor to disable the blue arrow.
I think I located every harness except that one. Can anyone help me locate it?

I just put little marks on the seat mechanicals after I get the seat where I want it. Then if anyone moves anything, I just look underneath and re-adjust the seat till the marks line back up.

OP, find the power wire for the seat controls and wire in a cutoff switch. When you want to move the seat, flip the cutoff and the seat will move. If you want to deactivate the seat switch, flip the cutoff switch off and the seat won't be able to move.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that won't work - my wife and I are different heights and like to sit closer / further away from the steering wheel. We both use the same height adjustments though, so I was hoping to only disable these two features. I don't want to have to flick on / off a switch multiple times a week. Sometimes when she moves it forward she hits the tilt too by accident - so I was hoping to just disable it.
The front was easy, I just need help locating the rear tilt motor.

Just rip those damn power seats out and bolt one of these in. Problem solved!
