Power Seat Problem - Help?

I just wired up power seats in my truck, and came from manual cloth interior.

All of the powering is good to go, except ONE problem.

I am lacking power in the passenger seat back portion. The bottom slides back and forth, but the back of the seat doesn't budge, and also, the seat belt indicator doesn't work for the passenger side.

The driver side is fully functional.

What could the problem be?
The passenger side has 3 wires, and they match the wiring on the power seat wiring harness, but when I wire them together, nothing works.

When I bring power over from J12 connector, the bottom works.
And when I bring direct 12V from battery, to the 2 circuits and bring a negative terminal to the white/black one, everything on the passenger seat works, including seat belt indicator and back.
But everything just stopped working, and I tried that method again, but now only the bottom works.

Can someone help? Why is only the bottom motor functioning? Is there something else than needs to be done?
I tried to following the tutorial that I posted somewhere in this thread, but his directions looked different than mine, and I had to take my own routes because I have a 2002, and some of my wiring were different colors than his.

I honestly could give a crap, but I feel bad for the passengers because it is set to all the way forward, so people look very uncomfortable, its kinda funny actually.
 
Sounds like the motor, or the switch is bad. Check if the motor is getting power. If so, get a new motor. If not, get a new switch.

Well, I get it working periodically. So which is the motor on these things for the back? Is it on the side?

I feel like I wired it incorrectly somehow.
