Seat module swap option?

Hi everyone! I was looking into my driver’s seat of my 93 xjs again, due to the fact that I had told the shop I took it to for the rear bearings, that my seat didn’t work and they decided to adjust it forward a couple of inches. Drrrrrrr! Needless to say the ride home was less than comfortable. Anyway, I hear a click in the module when I push my buttons on my door switch, but when I check for voltage, I get click and voltage when pushing forward, and a click and no power when pushed in reverse. I decided what the heck, and cut the tops off the relays in the module to see if they were just corroded since they sat in some water a few times. They looked pretty good, but I tried cleaning them anyway. When I push forward I can see 4 of the relays triggering. When I push backwards only 3 go and I get no power. I triggered the relay that I thought might need to, and yay power! I messed with it some, but couldn’t get it to go by itself. Drrrrr! So basically I started looking around for a replacement. Mine is DBC12047, and I’ve seen a couple, but they say for seats without memory, but mine has the memory function! I’ve seen a few for the same year Vaden Plas, DBC10552, for a decent price, but I don’t know if it’ll work. Anyone swapped their xjs ones for a different model?
