Default Seat Troubleshooting and part

My driver side seat has 2 switches that are not working properly. The first is the air pump for the sides that "wrap" around you a little, the second is the upper airbag. Both are currently full. I hit the switches for them to fill, and the motor runs for less than 1 second, then shuts off, but when I hit the switch to empty the bags, nothing happens. Its the same for both switches. My lumbar bag works just fine. I took off my passenger seat switch (which works perfectly) and placed it on the driver side, same result. So my switch is good. I think my motor for the air bag is fine since lumbar is working. I did some searches but can't seem to find anything. Any ideas what my next step would be?

Tomorrow I'm going to swap the controller thing that sits under the springs. Maybe this will help, any other ideas to troubleshoot it?
