It may be that the motor is dead. If your motor is no longer working, you will need to disassemble the seat and replace it. On a scale of 1-10, I rate the difficulty of the task as about a 6.

Here's a link to information I compiled while I was upgrading my seats: https://rennlist.com/forums/boxster-and-boxster-s-986-forum/915206-upgrading-two-way-power-seats.html

Here's the specific link to the seat disassembly process:

I don't think either link shows exactly how to take the seat back motor out, but you will need to partially remove the seat back cover (after you detach the seat back from the seat bottom) and remove a long rod that goes through the motor. The only real tricky part is realigning the rod so that the seat back doesn't twist when it moves.

If you need a motor, I have one.
