The wires in the 3rd picture are the power input to the whole system. They are the correct ones. If you did not have success after hooking them up, there is a problem somewhere with the seat circuitry/electronics OR the fuse is blown.

Do you have 12V to the dark green wire on the driver's side? Is the ground good (black wire)?

So i put my original seat back in and hooked it up and it works,fuses are good also.Green wire is hot.I'm wondering if it's the seat motor itself.
Dumb question but if I hook a car battery directly to those two wires on the seat shouldn't it work?

Yes it will work, but with no fuse you better hope that seat motor isn't defective.

That seat has an electronics package attached to the underside of it. If anything is wrong inside that box, the seat might not work. That may be what you are dealing with, or the seat motor might be no good.

You could always attach that seat to your old frame. It should work out OK.
