I have a Villa passenger seat with all electric controls and the foot rest would no longer function without help. There are 4 motors and the seat comes apart in 3 sections. The middle section has 3 motors and controls the forward/aft, front and rear tilt. The upper sections is where the motor and screw gear is located for the foot rest. On mine, the motor is good, but the gearbox is failing and the plastic gears are slipping.
The reason I'm mentioning this, is Villa told me parts are getting scarce and some items are no longer available. The gearbox is 45.00 and still available. So if you're having issues, you may want to "get er done."
