Default Supra seat motor/wiring issue

Having some trouble wiring up my Supra drivers seat.

I connected the two wires coming off the supra to the corresponding wires on the SC, and only the recline motor works. Forward/back controls do not work. I read a few threads saying that there are actually three wires coming from the Supra, and others saying that there are two.

Any ideas? I need to get the front/back motor working so I can actually bolt the seat in!
Thanks!

No pics right now, but I'll try to get some tomorrow. The seats are the ones with the separate headrests, so they're from a 93-96.

It could not be simpler just connect the two thick wires out of both the sc harness and the supra harness. If one of the functions does not work then it's prolly a motor gone south in the seat.

Figure it out. The plug that I thought the seatbelt buckle plugs into, was actually the plug for the motor up front that controls front/back movement!

Glad to hear you got it fixed! It's pretty simple but easy to get confused at first. If it helps anyone I did a writeup detailing the power connection and seatbelt buckle wiring with detailed pictures:
