Tom, The seat motors are bilateral. Meaning that one motor performs in both directions for any given function (up/down, fwd/back) ect. Patience might be on your side with this situation, however the Bentley manual does not cover this subject very well. The backrest control motor has a black/yellow and grey/yellow wire which control the forward/back motion of the backrest. The switch is externally removable, and the connector leading to the motor, may be accessible. Applying a ground on pin 4 and 12 volts on pin 6 will move the seat in one direction. Reversing the above will move the seat in the other direction if the motor is functional. This will synthesize switch movement. My bet is that you have a dirty/defective switch contact, or bad connection at the switch/motor connector. Email me @ slyboots96@gmail.com & I'll send you a wiring diagram. It exceeds the attachment limitations of this website. Good luck. Gerry I sure do wish that someone would respond to my 86 Targa rear window defroster issue!!

The upper and lower defogger elements on our '86 Targa do not activate. The following troubleshooting steps have been taken. 1. The defogger relay has been replaced. P/N 911-615-115-00. 2. Independent continuity checks have been performed from each element to ground, (let's call the upper element #1, center #2, bottom #3), and indicate continuity to ground. 3. Voltage check on harness contact(s) number(s) 1,6, & 4 confirm 12 VDC. 4. At no time is there any voltage on relay contact # 87a (harness contact # 3). It has been confirmed that relay #2, which applies voltage to the above contact does not ever energize. How & when the solid state circuitry activates relay # 2 is somewhat confusing, and our local dealer/mechanics do not know when or how relay #2 engages. Because the attachment exceeds 1000K, you may Email me @ slyboots96@gmail.com for a circuit diagram from the Bentley manual. I have done everything a dealer would do. Any thoughts out there?
