96 960: seat not working! I'm mad!

I have no clue what could be the issue with my powered passenger seat. I'm mad! I've done it all! Since the day I bought this car, the passenger seat has not worked. I did the sleeve shortening for the motors like Robert 'DIY' Spinner (rspi) did. When I first started this project, the car harness was green and corroded and the red wire was outside the harness. There's another guy that made a video about this issue. He had the same corrosion, same power wire ouside the harness. He trimmed, cleaned, and reconnected it and it worked fine. I figured I needed to buy another seat. Nope that one is doing the same thing. Then I checked both 15&30 amp power seat fuses which were fine. I mean my driver seat does work halfway and I know how to fix that. What is the orange wire for in that? Oh and the seatbelt sensor wiring harness has no mate. Seriously I looked along the side and everywhere. Does anyone know the route of the power seat wiring?

Dirty switches? Disassemble and clean with alcohol.

My guess is making sure there is 12 volts and a chassis ground reaching the seat controls.
