If test light does not glow, check for poor connection or open in Light Green wire between power seat switch and forward/back motor. If circuit is okay, replace power seat switch.

3) Backprobe between forward/back motor connector terminals "A" (Tan wire) and "B" (Light Green wire). Move power seat switch lever to forward, then back position. If test light glows in both positions, check for poor connections at forward/back motor. If connections are okay, replace forward/back motor.
