    Drivers seat motor problem

    Noticed today my front seat height adjustment motor stopped working. The one that lifts the front of the seat. Anyone else had that problem? Shouldn't be too hard to remove, but anyone know if i can get just the motor? Part # maybe? Or am i gonna have to go junk yard diving to find one, id imagine they are all the same across the c5 platform.

    Thanks for the help.

    Check out this video, it is very detailet.
    You can replace just a motor, but first check if your switch is working.

    Ya i saw that video, doesn't look hard at all. Question is, where to get motor. Pretty sure switch works, as I hear the motor click when I hit the switch. Once I get the seat out, ill jump the motor with 12v to check.

    Slow your roll a bit. Are you sure it isn't the circuit breaker going bad? I just had that happen, it is behind the kick panel. But being that some of your other motor directions seem to be working it shouldnt be that but it could be shorting slowly right? And replacing a two dollar part first never hurts.

    RS6 #2 904568, Avus, Ebony, no stuff, stock minus RNS-E.

    Ya everything else works on the seat, including the seat memory. Its just not lifting or lowering the front part of the seat. Ill pull the seat out this weekend, and jump the motor to really find out if its that or something else before i buy.
