Driver power seat motor or switch?

I put some used camaro seats in my GTA until i can get them recovered.. Driver seat will tilt up and down in front but will not go forward and back and move up and down. I connected the orange to orange and balck to black. So I dont think wiring is an issue. Do you replace the motors or do you just buy a complete bottom rail with motors or is it more likely the switch is out? I dont know which is more prone to be the problem

I ended up swapping out my seats for 4th gens.
I did end up having to run a new power wire even though my floor wiring showed good power.
