1) Determine if the problem is in the switch cluster or one of the three power motors.
The easiest way to do that is to swap the modular plugs at the motors around. If the motor now works, the problem is in the switch. If the motor still does not work then the motor is the problem.
2) If motor is bad: Remove the malfunctioning seat motor by removing the rolled steel pin holding it to the seat frame. Pivot the motor/screw drive and remove from seat.
3) Open the motor casing and check for obvious shorts, etc. Often times the problem is in the internal thermal overload switch -- the copper plate sandwich near the power terminals. Manually short the thermal overload switch and test the motor, if it works then you can obtain a replacement motor from a salvage yard (Dodge doesn't sell individual motors). Other's have simply permanently bypassed the thermal overload switch by soldering the plates together then placing an inline fuse in the existing external wiring harness for safety.
4) Figure out what to do with the $800 you just saved by not purchasing an entire power seat assembly from Dodge.
