Default C5 driver side power seat

Seat will not move forward or back. All other functions working. You can hear the module click when you move the seat control forward and back. Any ideas? Replaced spacers etc a year ago. Worked for awhile then stopped. No DIC codes.
2000 convertible.

Check to make sure the connector to the motor is seated correct.

If you’ve been under the seat doing anything, it’s possible that the connector unseated.

After I rebuilt my seats from the frame up, I had everything working but at some point my connector to the motor unseated and boom, broken seat adjustment.

This might not be your problem, but it’s the easiest solution.

Consider removing the motor from the seat and see if the motor spins in both directions. If the motor activates, it could be your seat tracks are binding for some reason.

Quick update and thanks to all. Hot wired motor and it moves seat forward and back no binding. Everything points to the control module.
