Calling power seat experts: troubleshooting

Since I got my car it's been a 4-way instead of an 8-way memory seat for the driver's side.
Neither the rear up-down axis nor the recline axis works at all. Pressing either one creates a "click" from the brain-box under the seat but no movement at all. The front up-down axis and front-back axis both work, but in intermittent pulses rather than smooth motion. I have read that this is due to faulty memory senders - are these the same things as the seat position sensors on the ends of the motors?
Messing around under the seat today, I found that pressing the switch for the working directions as well as the non-working rear up-down axis produced 12V at the wire from the brain to the motor. Even recieving 12V, the rear up-down motor wouldn't respond.
Does this clearly point to the motor as being faulty, so that replacing the motor would fix it outright? Or is there more to it than this?
