I just did a seat swap for my car, and had the same issue. What I did was 
just swap the harness between the seats. It all matches up to the motors and 
such. On each motor one wire is soldered on, you'll have to cut and splice 
or de-solder and re-solder, plus one of the swicthes is soldered too and you 
can't pull it backwards through the hole, and the harness wont fit forwards 
through the hole so you'd have to cut the swicth wiring (or de-solder) then 
put humpty switchy back together again.

The passenger seat of course requires no mods. The drivers is different 
because of the memory seat operating differently I believe.
