Default Electric power seat not working

Not sure if this is the correct area to post this, but my electronic power seat stopped working. Its no big deal since its set just how I like it, but it may become an inconvenience. I'm thinking maybe a fuse is blown? Not really sure what to put into perspective. Any ideas on fixing and troubleshooting this?
thanks!

The driver seat fuse in the under hood fuse box (BEC) is #14. The passenger seat fuse, if it is a power seat, is #15. Each one is a 30A fuse.

That's all it is is a fuse?

It could be, try pulling those fuses and inspecting them.

I couldn't find a #14 fuse, theres a lot of 15's, 30's, 25's etc. Any thoughts?

The number 14 is the fuse position in the box. The numbers on the actual fuse indicate the amp rating of the fuse. The lid for the box may show the position numbers or you may need to follow the manual. Replace any fuse with one of the same rating found stamped on the fuse.

It is unusual for all the directional functions to go out at once on a seat as they use three motors I think. Might look under the seat and make sure it is still plugged in too. Usual issue is a motor will stop working. Then you need to find a new seat rack which is pricey thru Ford. They do not sell individual parts cor the rack repair. A salvage yard may be the best bet then.

Here's a diagram of the fuse box indicating the power seat fuses:

In a perfect world, I agree with you. In our imperfect world, you need to go by the manual. Someone may have installed the wrong amperage fuse.
