Not sure how but the cable for my driver side lumbar adjustment broke. I tried to find the cable in parts diagrams but I don't see it. I've looked in every seat diagram and dug around in several other areas and no luck. Can someone help me find a replacement? Or even better, a fix for mine? I took the seat back off and the ends of the cable are still secured, and I can hear the motor running when I press the button, so I'm assuming the cable snapped.

My car is a 2009 Limited but Subaru's been using this design on all their power seats since the 90s.

Not sure whether these will help, but here are a couple of "lumbar links" from my bookmarks:

This is from SJ models, but... Post 16 has pictures.
