Default Electric seats

I can hear the power seat motor when press the control switch, loud clunking sound but no movement. Is there a gear that needs to be replaced?
Thank you.

Welcome to CF! I believe there are some nylon gears under the seat that tend to wear out. There are two rails connected by a gear shaft. If one of the gears strip, it will jam the seat from going front to back.
