My driver's seat does not go fore and aft. The switch works in both directions and the motor spins, but the output shafts from the motor do not turn. Thinking of switching motor/gearing with passenger seat. Passenger seat can stay all the way back until I fix or replace. Anyone do this?

So before you do that maybe you can test to see if you’re gearing‘s OK bye putting a cordless drill on the cable that comes out of the motor. If the gearing is good the cordless drill will make the seat go up and down. I went through this a month ago they’re a little bit complicated but if your motor is spinning your cable might not be in all the way

 

 

Good little nugget to know...

 

Motor good. Bench tested. One of the tracks was jammed. Could only turn with a vice grips. Other turned by hand. The worm gear in the gear box stripped the plastic gear.

 

Have this same issue. Anyone know how to remove the gear without drilling out the rivots
