Power Seat Motor When I push the adjust buttons on the side of the power seats, I hear the motor make a noise, but nothing moves. Also, the drivers side seat will still go forward and back, but the other two adjustment switches won't work. Also, both seats make the same noise, and I may be crazy, but I swear when I hit the driver side switches, the motor noise comes from the passenger side. Thoughts? Links to address this issue?

Would that be any different? Driven with the same motor? It might be, but in addition to feeling no rise or fall in seat, I certainly don't feel any adjustment in the lumbar area. The only switch that works is the drivers side one that moves the seat forwards and backwards.

Was this ever resolved?
I'm having VERY similar issues with the TA seats I just installed in my Firebird.
As soon as I installed them, I tested the driver's side and it worked. Seat moved front back and lumbar support inflated/deflated. It did NOT move up or down though.
Got in car to move it, and seat still moved forward/backward, but no support, no up/down.
Passenger side inflates/deflates.
Clicking is heard whenever I push the driver's side buttons, but no movement.

Oh, I thought the driver's seat didn't move up and down. The bolsters are a different problem.
The air pump for both sides is under the passenger seat. If you hear the pump, obviously there is a pneumatic problem. My guess is the lines are detached or leaking. Other possibility is the bladders are damaged. If both the seat back and sides both don't inflate, it's likely just the lines.

When I had this problem, the driver side bolster/lumbar would actually make the passenger side bolster/lumbar inflate/deflate, as well as the passenger doing the same for the passenger.

So it can be as simple as the tubing coming detached?
I'm assuming since the tubing runs under the carpet and under the center console, and is whole (no connections in between) that those should be good. So that narrows it down the connectors from under carpet to seats (both sides) and then from those to the pumps themselves?
So 3-4 connection points?
Sounds simple enough.
