Umm...ok.

This is insufficient data for anyone to start giving you advice. Could range from a detached connector to a burned up motor. Put in a bit of effort and describe the issue and what diagnostics you have performed so far. Has it ever worked? Can you hear the grind of a motor? What can you tell us. Tell us the year of the car.

Try moving the switch back and forth many times, like 50. A lot of times this cleans the contacts enough to get it working.

Nasty! How would anyone know you hadn't bought the car from what you wrote in the first post? You're new here. Clean up your act if you want to get along....

He is new here, but the reply he got of "Umm...ok" was rude and would have ticked me off too.
There is a way to ask people for more info without trying to make them look stupid.

to the original question

check fuse, if good move on

check for power at the connector under the seat, if you have FSM and know what color wires make it move you could jumper power and see if seat moves. if seat moves when jumped but not power at seat connector check for power at the switch

Those are the most likely, if nothing shows up there and there is no power to switch, you have to trace the wire and find break or redneck it and bypass with a new fused wire to switch

Option D, find a trusted mechanic

good luck
