I've been pulling and re-installing the front power seats in my E28 M5 a bunch lately (doing interior restoration work, but then i need to drive the car somewhere so i bolt it back in, etc etc.

Well, it seems like the front heigh adjust doesn't work anymore. When i hit that pair of switches in either direction, i just hear a "click".

I've looked at the ETK and its not clear ho wmany motors there are and what they do. All other seat functions (except headrest - haven't fixed that one yet :) work correctly. Just that trying to raise/lower the front of the seat just makes a "click" sound once and nothing happens.

Anyone have any hints ? Its entirely possible that i didn't hook up a wire, lathough afaik theres just 2 or 3 harness connectors to plug aback together, and they looked plugged in :)
