Default electric seat testing

Hey gang..i just replaced the seat switches, greased everything, and cleaned it all up. I tested the motors and all work fine.
Now, i want to test the function of the switches without it being in the car..the car is at my ex girlfriends house...long story...
Anyway, I do have a 12v power source and want to know which pins i would apply power to to energize the switches..

thx

While I do not know the answer, its a good time to plug the Moorehouse manual DVD set.

Wiring diagrams & all.

I tested my son's with an extra battery I have here. Brown is always ground...but if I remember correctly if reversed it will operate in reverse.

they are from 87 S4 stock i guess with 2 4 way switches...I actually opened up the connectors last night and figured out the circuits..All tested great!!!!
However, there is a 2 prong plug that goes up the backside in the seat back..I have no idea what this can be. It doesnt appear to go to a motor...It plugs into a female that is on the floor..Any ideas...

I think the two prong one is for the seat belt warning electrical system. It plugs into a "mate" that activates the light if the belt is not connected.
