Default Lumbar Support

I just bought a 2015 3LT coupe with 24,000 miles. The power lumbar support on the drivers side seems to have an issue. I can hear a click when I try to operate it but the motor doesn’t run like the passenger side does. I did a search and found some issues with leaking but nothing about it being inoperative. Anyone else have this problem and if so how do you fix it?

Mine did this too. I took the drivers seat out of the car. Pulled the back off of the seat and found the motor. The motor was stuck--not turning. I took the motor apart, lubricated with some 3 and 1 oil. Been working ever since!!! You will have to unbolt the seat belt to remove the seat. Disconnect the battery just in case as the seat has an airbag system.
