My power seats on the driver side don't work (passanger side works fine). getting any sound on any of the three buttons any direction, so seems that it's got a short or maybe a bad relay.
My hatchback button doesn't work on the driver's side either. both were intermittant now the just don't work.
I also just noticed that my horn isn't working.
do the three or two gave a common relay somewhere that I can check?

No.
Do the interior lights work? - if no check the fuse for that #24 - the hatch releases rely on this power. But it could just be the switch itself (esp. if the other side works which was half implied...). In this case clean with switch cleaner... or remove the panel & short the switch connections together to emulate the switch - this checks that the switch is the only issue.
There is no seat relay unless you have memory seats? Check fuse #20/#21
The horn relay feeds only the horn - swap it for another 53 relay to test & check fuse #18

The thread above could help you solve the problem. I did this fix about 6 months ago all worked fine until a few days ago and out of the blue stopped working again.
Removing the seat today to recheck the board.

For memory seats there are many relays (basicallly per function) - location is under the seat - you must take it out to access them.

Got the seat out and checking across the power pins on the board where I made the repair I was not getting 12v. I guess my soldering skills are not as good as they once were.
Even though I had re-soldered the ground pin, it had gone cold and was not making a good connection.
Point is the repair I posted above is spot on, just need to make a solid repair.
