The drive side seat motor died years ago, and I have been looking for a replacement. Toyota wants to sell the entire seat frame, but I just need the motor. Any ideas on where to get one?
Can anyone give me the proper part number
Have you tried online part catalogs? That's what I would do.
Also, do not multipost please.
(merging topic with your previous question)
The toyota parts desk wants to sell me a whole seat frame as they don't sell the individual motors for this year. Apologie for the double post, but I have googled it to death. I have been sent the wrong part several times, so just seeing if someone can help out.
if Toyota doesn't sell it separately, then that means there isn't a part number for it. It also means you won't find it online, and certainly nobody here will have it.

Your best bet is to find one in the junkyard as yaser suggested.
.
You could also try removing the motor from your seat, and looking up a similar one based on the physical dimensions (rotor diameter, shaft diameter and length, mounting holes, voltage etc.) There might be a manufacturer name stamped on it, and maybe even model number or specs like power rating.

reddevil's idea isn't bad either. The motor could just need new brushes, or oil in the bushing.
.
Or , you could manually adjust your seat with spacers. I find that the power seat mechanisms introduce too much slop anyway.
This guy had a good idea for the same problem:
i reccomend cleaning the seat motor connectors first and see if that works first. use an electronic spray cleaner and spray ground cables also. find if that helps. check on ebay

Get one from a junkyard.
Can anyone give me the proper part number for the power driver seat motor on a 2011 Toyota Sienna Se. I know Toyota sells the whole assembly but I'd like to get just the motor. This is for forward and back.
