Default 2012 Traverse 8-way power drivers seat.

Hi,
Is someone able to confirm if the front end (under the knees) of the driver's seat should move up? The horizontal switch that move the seat back and forth also has the ability to lift the rear of the seat but the front does not move. I also have a separate vertical switch in front of the horizontal one and nothing happens (not even the slightest sound) when I push it up but when I push it down it makes one quick sound, like something hit its end, and then nothing.
Thank you

No, it doesn't move in either direction, but when I push down on the switch it does make a sound as if it hit its limit and it is a low as it can go. , as opposed to no sound made when I push up.

unbolt the seat lay it down, and look and see what stopping the mechanism. Something is either worn out , seized, bent or something.

So I finally had a chance to remove the seat and check underneath and it doesn't look like the front part of the seat goes up/ down. In image 1 I circled the back part of my seat and I saw it move and the mechanism moves as it should. In image 2 I circled the mechanism in the front part of the seat and it is different and does not appear to be built to move. Image 3 shows 2 of the 3 motors under my seat, there is another one to the left that is not in the image, but could not say what they move.

most likely one motor for forward/back, another for rear up/down, and another for front up/down.
