Seat motors

Does anyone know if the seat motors, specifically to recline the seat backs are the same from 2000-2001 to 2002-2003? Need to pick up a replacement motor, and found a set of 2001 seats for cheap.

My dads 5th gen front to back motor is probably broken and i'm wondering the same thing. He has an '02. I didn't know they had separate motors for the different motions

just take the motor out and bring it to a dealership that has the different years in stock and compare?

Not that easy. The reclining motor is hidden, and I'm not going to disassemble my seat unless I'm sure I can replace the motor. It might look odd if I crawl underneath the passenger seat at a dealership as well.
