seat motor failures are rare, cable, bowden tube and the seatback drive problems are most common...what part of the seat isn.t working????

The right side or but stays down, i noticed some grease on the motor housing and surrounding area. oh i checked the fuse and it seems to be fine.....there are some loose connections under the seat as well like abbandoned or not used plugs?
