Default electric drivers seat issue

None of the electric controls on my drivers seat are working. It's the seat with memory. The fuses are fine. The passenger seat controls are working. I can't see any damaged wiring under the seat. Any suggestions what to do next? Are the driver and passenger seats controlled by a single ecu? If doing an ecu reset, how long does the battery need to be disconnected for?
Thanks folks for any help.

got a feeling that these just go wrong and cannot be repaired.
I seem to recall Rimmers have new ones.

A scrap yard may have ones in a seat that works

Disconnected battery for an hour and then reconnected. Still no joy. Any more suggestions? What is the black box under the seat?

I wonder if these seats use the same motor that is in the sunroof? This is a very common motor that is used in lots of cars, BMW's included. Good luck with your investigations - my donor car has a passenger electric seat that just goes clonk when you push the fore/aft button but tilt works fine

Can any one confirm if there are 2 motors in the driver's seat? Also is there a relay for the driver's seat?
