Power Seat Problems

[OJanda]

I have been working on swapping the interior from a stock explorer into my 2017 police interceptor. I noticed before I took the driver seat out of the parts explorer it wouldn’t move backwards. I have now swapped the seat into my PIU and it still doesn’t move. All the other functions of the seat works except for moving backwards. I tested the plug going into the motor responsible for moving the seat forward and back and got 12v and -12v which seems right. I also know it’s not the motor or the track because I swapped both of those over from my police seat. I’m not sure what it could be. Does anybody have an idea?

It almost has to be the switch. Exactly how did you "test the plug going into the motor", and where exactly was each probe when you "got 12v and -12v"? Post pics.

Ok, the first two picks are from the unplugged connector that goes into the motor when pressing the switch forward or back, this is where I got 12v and -12v. This third pick is when that same connector is actually plugged into the motor while pushing the switch back. When the connector is plugged into the motor I get 12v when moving the seat forward, but around .1v when trying to move the seat back. I think it’s most likely the switch too, but don’t know why the connection seems to be getting the right voltage when not plugged in.
