paigeone,

Several ideas:

With a separate 12 volt power source check the seat motor to make sure its working, as the switch may not be the issue. Then check that you have power to the seat switch. Check for a separate seat fuse, if one exists?

Take the switch assembly off the seat, and spray electrical contact cleaner into every crevice you can find on the switch and then cycle the switch many times to try and clean its contacts. Do it several times, and then allow 20 minutes for the fluid to evaporate before you hook it back up and try the switch.

If you can see how the switch comes apart (I've done this many times with the switch and my hands inside a large zip lock bag, so parts don't fly away in the garage, and tiny knife blades or screw drivers) take it apart and clean the contacts with emery paper.

Lastly, try eBay. I've had great luck over the years finding used items for a fraction of the cost of new. Good Luck!
