Need more information, there's 3 different types of motors that you could have, and we need to know what these sounds are

you need to replace the bottom of the drivers seat the motor tends to breake with out warning be glad it is not at a acward position is it? if not dont worry tell you get a price on the seat bottom it should be around 170 to 200 im not sure

what i found out is the bracetry is the same for 2000 and 2007 models. if it was me which i want leather seats from the same year i would go to a junk yard for the best looking seats and replace the bottom of the drivers seat just to make sure the motors work to make it tilt rase up and down and all of that.
