    2003 Caravan - Driver's Power Seat - Front Riser - not working

    In my 2003 Dodge Sport Caravan, the Driver's seat Front Riser has
    stopped working. The front riser motor vibrates and makes a growling
    sound when I briefly move the front riser switch in the up or down
    position, but there is no movement in the linkage or seat. I presume
    the switch and motor or working, but don't know what else to try. I
    have looked for stuck debris in the linkage but could not find
    anything.

    There are four motors under the seat.

    1 - Seat forward-reverse - works OK.
    2 - Recline (up and down) - works OK.
    3 - Rear riser - works OK
    4 - Front riser - motor growls and vibrates but no movement.

    If seat is left in far forward position overnight, sometimes when
    moving back to normal position, seat forward-reverse motor growls but
    works. Later in the day it moves with normal motor sound.
    ..
    Any help is appreciated as I don't have any warranty on this
    component.

    Thanks in advance!
