ajl, the creator of this post hasn't returned since Aug 2022.

You will need to see if its the short cable or long cable at fault.

If you are very mechanically minded, you can get under the seat and manually wind the cogs to move the seat into position so you can access the seat mount bolts. Remove the seat from the vehicle & replace the broken drive cable.

Do you have detailed instructions on how to do this?
