Maybe yes maybe no. It could be that there is some resistance somewhere so the full voltage is not being applied to the motor. So checking the fuses is not a bad idea, you might find something.

I think that car is different than mine so I cannot advise you on how to get into the seat, maybe someone else can or you can find something with search. You might need to get in there and see what voltage is getting to the motor and then see if there is some mechanical issue.

Also, I know you are new here, but when M.B.DOC says to do something then do it because he is nearly psychic. Do not be surprised if he is exactly correct as he has probably fixed that exact problem 100 times.
