Black supply wires in a Porsche are usually ignition (15) - just try to forget everything you think you know about wire colors and it will go better.
You need not worry about the motor wires - if it moves one way it will move the other.
The switch is still toasted.
For your goal just forget the switch, they are harder to repair than it seems - you have to know how they are supposed to go together .
If all you need to do is move the seat back just connect directly to the motor.
Asuming you have comfort non-mem seats then its the Grey & Black* wires. One polearity is one way the other - the other
*exception in this case

Well I finally got the seat in a position so the car is drivable.
I have decided that I'm going to desolder the switches and replace them all ( if I can source them) so if anyone has a full working set they would care to get rid of Please let me know, as well as what your asking for them.
I want to Thank Everyone who posted, you guys ALL gave me a lot of valuable info and ideas.
Thanks Again

Well I think you may change your mind about that once you see the cost of these switches ... You can successfully R&R these but you need some time, a Ziplock bag to contain the "explosion" and a good idea of what to focus on, how to restore/clean it, how to protect it when clean and how to get it all back together again properly.

Correct, new switches are extremely expensive... :-(
I used a plastic bag and lots of patience to get it right, but it works like new again :-)
Did the ignition switch more or less the same way and it works perfect as well.
That's what I love about these cars.
