Driver's Power Seat Issue
The front of my 13 GT's power seat no longer moves. The fore/aft adjustment works, as does the rear up/down adjustment. However, the front of the seat no longer moves.
I can hear the motor spinning, so I know it and the switch are good. I would assume a gear has snapped.
Has anyone here successfully repaired of these? I hate to spend $300+ for the entire track assembly unless I have to.

My rear tilt motor has just done a similar thing (spins, but no movement). I've seen a listing for a repair kit part number (ER3Z-78617D66-A), but I don't know yet if it covers this specific failure mode.

All I've ever seen is that you have to replace the entire seat track assembly. $300 for the part and another $300 for the dealer to fix it on my car.

My drivers seat did the same thing, replaced the track under warranty . Now my passenger seat will raise up and down but has a hard time moving forward and backwards, out of warranty . I searched for single replacement motors but couldn't find any, so far . Good luck

Part number ER3Z-78617D66-A fixed my seat. It is a fairly straight-forward repair. The hard part was driving out pin connecting the drive assembly to the lifting lever. The kit includes new screws and even a tube of grease. I careful examination of the old part is needed to know how to assemble the drive assembly since there are no instructions. This was much better (less than $50) than a whole new track.

Here's a thread from SpectreH with lots of detail, below. These are cheap units, and the gears inside are plastic, and break. BOTH my Driver's and Passenger's did the same thing (with minimal usage and very low miles). Very unfortunate.
