I took out my front seats today to grease the track & gear. I did find the typical stale Fritos, quarters & a thousand tiny leaf particles. The seat came out easily. I cleaned up the entire area under the seat. I did not take the seat apart. I greased the track, gear & teeth with all purpose grease. I put the seat back in the car, held it up at a 45 degree angle, hooked up the wires, and operated the switch to check operation before bolting it down.
The seat would move 1/2 way forward, the motor would wind down, then stop. No movement forward or backward. If I waited 10 mins, it would move backward or forward about half way again, wind down & stop. Then no movement for about 10 more mins. It's like it is powered by a set of AA batteries that are about dead. No up/down or tilt. Just forward backward. It will click with every switch, it just won't move. The bolster motor works fine.
Do I need a new drive motor? Are they available?
