Reported cause

After I confirmed the switch in the side of the seat works in all directions, I concluded it was the motor.

Suggestion

I would run the good motors back against their stops then the motor would rock slightly when the switch was energized.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Last time taking the 996 out my son raised the seat as high as it would go. Now, I can't lower it. All other adjustments work normally, but the seat is stuck at the highest position. Anyone had something like this happen before? Loose wire? Switch going bad? Issue with the track? Something else?

POST 2Original post

If you can hear the motor turning when you press the control down, then my guess would be the cable connecting the motor to the gear box. Common failure. Easy to fix. About $60 if I remember correctly. Fixed mine about 8 months ago.

POST 3Original post

I could not hear the motor running on mine (fore and aft went out). So, I had to place my fingers on the motor. I tried to see if I could feel it (or in my case not feel it) move or try to move. I would run the good motors back against their stops then the motor would rock slightly when the switch was energized. The motor that I was trying to test did not make any noise or rocking movement. Then I took the motor out and swapped one of the "good" motors in its' place to see if I could get the seat to move - it did. After I confirmed the switch in the side of the seat works in all directions, I concluded it was the motor. Bought a new motor, installed it, and it has been working perfectly since.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
