Help with wiring under seats, please.

From the video it kind of seems you are missing one of the two ends of the heating grid. Like they did not put the grid back. Look at minute 5:34 on the video and you will see what I mean

Well the shop couldn’t find a place for the plugs on the passenger seat. They will be looking at the driver’s side for clues to fix. It is strange that the lumbar works on the passenger side and nothing else. If I could get the seat to move forward and back I would be in a place that I could reinstall the seat. Right now I can access the front bolts to secure it but without forward movement I can’t access the rear bolts.

well, I am at a loss as to where They connect…
not sure if you said, but my car was 2002, which should be the same as 2002-2005, possibly all years.
I only have a 2007 now and if I had time would pull a seat to help.
just to be clear
drivers side
All seat functions and full heat back and bottom.
passenger side
no seat functions but full heat back and bottom.
passenger side dash light functions with weight on seat.

As it stands for now, the driver side functions as it should. All movement and heaters. On the passenger seat the lumbar motor functions no other movements. Have not tried the heater yet.

also, tried for an hour this morning looking at pics I took and on the web trying to figure out where they go…
There are some people selling SC430 seat frames on eBay and many have some of the wiring harness attached.

Thanks, I am going to do contuniy checks on the wires tonight. Thinking that maybe something got pinched when they were working on it.

A shot in the dark here. In the photo below you can see two connectors that are on the harness that has the Cream plug from the floor. They both are near the seat position controller. Both fit into the plug on the controller that is the same color as these plugs. Maybe during the recovering of the seat the wrong one was plugged into the controller. Could someone check and let me know which color wires they have going into a working seat on the passenger side?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks.
After all, you are already in a non working state

From your earlier pictures (post # 6), I'd say that you have it connected correctly. The driver's seat has the connector with the larger gauge wires plugged into the same connector that the passenger seat does (in post # 6). I would expect that the two controllers are the same but just with maybe a few different features, if even that. So, yes, it looks like the connectors are plugged in correctly on post # 6.

Partially solved the connector issue. Looking at the photo in post #6, the purple arrow points to a connector. Look closely and you can see that there is a plate over the back of the connector.
on the passenger seat, the connector on top of the controller is the same type with a plate on the back. The lines do NOT go into the controller. Is this some type of loop back connector? Where does the other gray one go?

Not sure if this helps but here is the power seat diagram.
