While doing my padding project on my passenger seat. I attemped to repair the one adjust that I had fixed earlier. It is the adjuster that makes the front of the seat go up and down.

I fixed it earlier by dissassembling the gear section and plugging the cable into it better than before.

I tried this same thing and it didn't work. I had to take the seat in and out of the car multiple times to test it. The last time I decided to replace the cable all together. I figured that would work. Apparently not.

Same thing. When I press the button I hear the motor whirr but the seat does not move.

In one of the multiple removals I tested the gears by connecting the cable to a drill and running it. The seat moved properly. I am assuming the problem is on the motor side but I have no idea what to do.
