Question Driver's Seat Won't Raise

The drivers seat front up down has a problem , the motor turns but the mechanism does not raise or lower the front of the seat. Is there some kind of coupler or set screw that would cause this problem? The rest of the seat works just fine.

The drive cable ends come off. Some just snap back in. 1/2 the time I have to replace a cable. There is a longer one and a shorter one. Not sure which one you need. If I remember correctly you need a Torx T45 to remove the seat. Only 4 bolts. Takes a couple of minutes. You can find an entire seat base for about $50 and have EVERYTHING if time is more important than saving $20.
