I did, but I will check again. Thanks.

I disconnected the connector at the motor and at the seat controller. Then put them back on. Both ends seemed to fit snugly and the wires are not pulled too tightly. I think I will replace the two wires that run from the motor that moves the seat back and forth and to the seat controller. That would a cheap fix, if it works.

The motor that moves my copilot seat back and forth is shot. I have power at the motor, per my multimeter. All other power functions work. I removed the offending motor rapped with a screwdriver a few times and put power to it, but still not working.

Called Villa International. They tell me I need to buy then entire base of the seat including all the other motors, for $500. Called Alliance Coach, got the same response.

Searching online got me nothing. GSK Group and ALP Tech appear to be the makers of the motor, but plugging in multiple search terms returned nothing. Tried E-Bay too without success.

I suspect certain auto makers use this motor in their cars and if I could find out which, I might be able to purchase it at a dealership.

Anyone got any ideas? Below are two pictures of the motor attached to a bracket

UPDATE: after contacting Villa again last week, I spoke with Mike. Mike tells me he thinks he can get me the motor, when he visits their location in Indiana (this week).

I did not know what to expect, but a new motor arrived at my doorstep yesterday free of charge.

Now that is truly amazing customer service.
