Electric Driver's Seat Failure

My driver's seat will move forward and back, but suddenly won't move the top half at all. Faded out slowly over a couple of days, and the blond changes the seat constantly. Any ideas?

mine went out while still under warranty... seems to be common just like the window motors. Replaced that too (passenger side)...only this time I was like a month out of warranty. lol.

These motors tend to get alot of carbon build-up which slows and stops the motor...some ppl have taken it apart, cleaned it, and put it back together....some work for a while, but they eventually die too. Just buy a new one.

Strange that a Z33 seat motor would do that. I suggest if you're handy to open her up like old school suggested. Could be a loose connection or a bad brush in the motor but if it's under warranty then don't touch it.
