Default Sport seat question

My drivers seat stopped working, I checked the switch and it worked perfectly on the passenger side. I bought a used SCM which was tested good from a low mileage car. I still have no movement. When power is sent directly to motors all motors work. ??? There is also power at the SCM.

This may sound crazy, I had the drivers seat stop working I changed the SCM and seat harness and nothing worked. Checked fuses even swapped #36 and #35 (drivers and passengers seat fuses) in the passengers foot well fuse box. Telescoping wheel also was not working. I had been having problems with my battery holding a charge while I was working on the seat problem. Had it checked and it was bad, replaced the battery and everything worked, I have a DTC for no comm with the SCM. Everything is working I just have a DTC of no comm with the SCM. Check your battery it worked for me.

I did have to repair a broken wire at the connector under the seat, but I think I did it while removing the seat about 10 times. So check your wire connectors also.
