For some strange reason, the passenger (electric) seat on my 51 plate Omega CDX 2.6 Auto is stuck at full height position?

When the height adjust switch is pressed (down) all you hear is a click, and no movement of the seat what so ever?

As I have not driven my car sitting from the passenger side before, I have no idea how long it has been like this? I only noticed it the other day when I was doing a bit of valeting sitting on the passenger front seat and as it was set too high for my relaxed lounge driving style, I went to lower it and nothing happened.

Any ideas as what could be wrong? I have looked under the seat at the  threaded long bar that connects to the motor whilst pressing the switch. When the switch is pressed, you can see about a mm or two movement of the threaded bolt, and then you hear a single click from the motor area. That's it!

If anyone can help I would be grateful!!

Kent.

This has been covered on here before, the seat sticks at either top or bottom end of travel, can be freed by a socket on the nut on the end of the threaded screw as viewed from behind the seat, once freed apply some grease to the end of the thread and avoid furthest ends of the travel if possible

Thanks for the advice, I will be out with a pair of grips later today and give it a wiggle!!
