Default Driver power seat not working

I have a '98 EX with power driver seat. The forward/backward works fine, but the recline/incline control **** does not move the seat at all. I also noticed this morning that if I try the switch with the headlights on (engine running) the lights will slightly dim. Any idea where I should start troubleshooting?

It drew power....at least you know that much.

That new car is already breaking?

Genuine switch cleaner from RadioShack. Do not dismantle - squirt form outside. Not WD40 nor grease.

It was inop when I bought the car. I knew the seat and timing belt needed work before buying. So far no surprises.

Hondadude you rock!

Is there anyway you could PM or email me a wiring diagram for the driver and passenger power/heated seats for a 1996 Acura 3.5RL? And possibly for the 1999 Accord LX (or whichever one had power seats, if any) as well?

Im doing a RL leather interior swap and adjusting the seats would be nice... not to mention heating my butt on the way to work! Thanks!
