2014 Explorer 3rd row power issue

[alimackmood]

2014 Ford Explorer just purchased with a 3rd row seat folded over and stuck, no power to the switch, no motor noise. Checked the under hood relay and it is getting power to the pin and that verifies the 30a fuse is good. I found a diagram online and it looks like theres another 10a fuse near the body control module that will control this chain? Are there any other fuses I am missing here? I jumpered the relay to give direct power to the switch and got the seats to unfold and move so that verifies the issue is the 'activation' or 'turn on' of the system. Other than rigging something up with an alternative relay, where else should I look for this 10a mystery fuse that links to this system?

This YE-GN yellow-green? line going to the third row seat relay is what I'm chasing. It links back to the BCM and I'm seeing a 10A fuse at F4??

Have you checked the fuse box?
There is one in the engine bay and another under the dash on the driver's side above the emergency brake.

Hi, yes. In the fuse box in the engine bay, I confirmed the 30A fuse and the relay are operating as they should. When I jumpered the relay, I was able to use the switch at the rear seats to fold them up and down.

I'm not sure which fuse under the driver dash is related to the 3rd row seats. Anyone have experience with this? It's not clearly labelled for a 3rd row seat fuse.

The only fuse (#4) I see that is related to the 3rd row seats is also linked to several other items. If those items are working, then the fuse should be good. If the seats function normally when bypassing the relay, the relay may be faulty.
