That was me, but it was for the seatback recline on the passenger side, so not the same exact problem.

I haven't compared parts and part numbers, but I would be surprised if any of the motors are swappable between seats. I think you would end up with the gear facing the wrong direction in most cases. I think I have a spare of every motor that I could test for functionality if you figure out which part it is.

I have the exact same problem. Barring any other big issues popping up, it was next on my list to check out.

it was you!!!

it might be the gear! cuz i still hear the clicking noise just no movement or motor sound but aint it the same motor that works the front of the bottom? so that would mean the motor should be fine right?? is it easy to take the seat out? iv never done it before so im a little skeptical

check the first motor in front of your seat you might have to lift the front of the bottom of the chair to see it but in my case it was that orange wire disconnected! check it out and let me know! its literally right there up front

Checked mine and immediately realized I actually have the opposite problem. I have the front up high because the back won't go down and I don't like sliding forward. So I've got to check the back.
