Default Drivers seat won't move forward

Discovered today that my seat won't move forward at all. No noise, no clicks, nothing. It will move back, which btw it's stuck all the way back. Reverse will make noise and click, but it's all the way to the back.

I'm thinking it's a relay in the seat module, but I don't know which relay moves the chair forward. One of these NEC EP2-3N1S relays moves it forward but I don't know which. Can anyone help me with this info? Otherwise I'll have to do it through process of elimination and I don't want to do that. Also, any other info to help me diagnose this problem would be a big help. I'm guessing it's the relay.

Very often, this kind of problems get solved by just resoldering the relays. Take a look at this thread.

I tried resoldering the connections underneath with no luck. Though to be honest I wasn't sure what connection was for the relay, so I just randomly resolder what I thought was a cold solder joint.
