Drivers Seat Will not move

We were finishing up our interior upgrade project and we ran into to a problem. We reinstalled the driver seat and now it acts like there is no power to it. Passenger seat works fine. It was working fine when we removed it slid it all the way forward to get to the bolts in the rear to remove it. We could use some help on figuring this one out.

Use a test light to check for power at the switch, testing both the power and ground side of the switch. If power is there, check for power at the motor. It’s either one or the other (or you damaged a wire).

Checked fuses this morning all were good. I have 12v on one pin that has a yellow wire with a red stripe. Should I be seeing 12v on any of the other pins? Going to check power on the seat switch now.

Using the passenger seat as a reference. I have 2 pins that have 12v to them yellow wire with a red stripe and gray wire with a red stripe. On the drivers side the gray wire with a red stripe has no power to it. Any ideas on what feeds the gray wire with the red stripe?

I was able to figure it out. Took out fuse 45 and 29 in the battery junction box was going to swap them. Inspected the fuses noticed one had a crack. Put in a good fuse and know I the seats require 2 good 12v powers.
