Power Seats and Locks

My maxima has issues with the power seats and locks. They work when they want to, but generally don't. I took the car to Big-0 and to an Inspection station, the techs were short guys and adjusted the drivers seat....now it wont adjust back to fit my size. The power locks almost never work. I disconnected a wire from subwoofers (prior owner) and the seat/locks worked for a minute. Then I cleaned off corrosion on the battery terminals and that didnt help. Ideas?

sit on the driver seat and right between your legs you will find the motor, use the screwdriver and hit it a few times, it should come to life.
