Help needed w/ driver's seat problems
Hey guys, I've got a problem with the driver's seat in my GS300, as the thread title says. From what I can tell there are two motors that move the seat along the rails. The left one seems to be working fine, but the right one does not move. This does not allow the seat to move properly front to back and the seat is stuck in the position where my wife sits and she's nearly a foot shorter than I am, so I can't even come close to fitting in to drive.
I am very familiar with my Supra, since it's my second and I've done a decent number of modifications to it, but I've only owned the Lexus since April, so I'm not that knowledgable on it-other than the engine. I would guess that replacing the right motor would fix the problem, but I'd like to be more sure of this before I buy a new motor for it.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks for the input. I found out that the seat does in fact move back, so at least I can drive it. My buddy who works with electronics just came over and we're going to take a look at it after we do some troubleshooting with my Supra.
