2012 Camaro LT. The power seat will not raise. The front to back, tilt and recline all work. I took it to the dealership and got a quote of $1000.00 and change because they said Chevrolet doesn't sell the individual motors. They only sell the entire lower seat frame with ALL the motors. It appears that I can get motors on ebay, I'm just not sure which motor to get. I've attached a diagram. Any help would be much appreciated!

Depends on what the seat doesn't do. 18 and 20 are available separately but 19 is only available with the complete lower seat frame. About $350 and it comes with all three motors.

Did anyone test the switch to see if the fault is there -- or check wires to see if one was pulled out? There is one bolt in the back of each seat track and then the seat pops out. Threads in the forum on how to easily take out the seat for diagnostics. You could then also temporarily manually crank it to the height position you need it in until you find parts and/or a reasonably priced solution.
For that price quote you are approaching Recaro seat territory
