Electric Car Seat

Not sure where to post this. 2007 impala electric seat won't go up or down. Motor is working and shaft toward the front of the seat is turning. Are there gears that can be replaced or a linkage that could be broken? Hate to have to replace entire assy. $250 Seat is about half way up/down.

Re: Electric Car Seat

Sometimes you can find aftermarket parts online but most of the time that is only available as an assembly from the dealer. $250 sounds like a great price.

Re: Electric Car Seat

The only replacement parts I see are the motor with worm shaft so if that part is good, you likely need the whole assembly.
