Driver's seat height adjustment stuck (already seached)

[Beez540]

Driver's side power seat had been working fine, then I moved it all the way forward to get some leverage in the back for removing the back seat (to get to the battery to work on my gauge cluster, which went splendidly I might add... and I didn't have to remove the steering wheel).

When I was all done, I went to readjust the drivers seat and the height adjustment on the right side is stuck up high. If i try to lower the seat, the left side starts to go down and you can hear the motors really start to groan... probably becuase it's starting to unnaturally bend and lean.

I'm not talking about the "twist" wich is all I've come up with in my searches. It's just the right side height is stuck.


Luckily there is plenty of headroom in these cars, so it's not a terrible issue... but I'd like to be able to drop it down a little bit.

its the same precedure as the twist, the cable probably slipped out of the motor. Here is the link seat fix
same percedure, different motor.

The cable has come out of the groove. Remove the upper and lower "B" pillar trim on the driver's side and replace the wire in the groove at the top.

Very simple. I just replaced my entire cable after having the cable snag on the seat runner and cutting it about 2 inches from the connector. Took me about 15 minutes to replace the cable.
