Default 6-way power seat switch?

Before I order a new switch I am hoping to get some validation my trouble shooting is correct.

I just bought a used 2005 Quad Cab SLT 4.7L 4x4. It has very few problems or miles for a truck that is almost 13 years old. But one problem is the two toggle switches on the side of the driver seat do nothing. One would raise the seat but not lower it until I started looking into the problem and now it doesn't do anything. The other doesn't do anything. But the 4-way joy stick between the two toggle switches does move the seat forward and backwards as well as up and down.

So two question before I drop $80 at factorychryslerparts.com :
Since all three electrical motors under the seat seam to work using the 4-way switch I'm assuming it is the other two switches that are bad. Should I be looking someplace else for a fault?
Assuming it is the switch assembly, is Part Number: 04373848 the correct part for a 2005 SLT Quad Cab with power 6-way driver seat?
https://www.factorychryslerparts.com.../04373848.html

With two toggle switches on either side of a 4 way switch/joystick? The diagram on factorychryslerparts isn't the greatest.

They are heated seats if that makes a difference.
I'd have taken a picture and posted it if photobucket was still worth using.
Thanks
Rich

Pull the switch, and test it with a meter. See if the switches are actually doing anything.

I had a nice table made. Just can't get it into the forum.
Pin combination No switch actuation Rear switch up Rear switch down Joystick up Joystick down Joystick forward Joystick rearward Front switch up Front switch down
P-1 NC C NC C NC NC NC NC NC
P-2 C C C C C C C C C
P-3 NC NC NC NC NC NC C NC NC
P-4 NC NC NC NC NC C NC NC NC
P-5 NC NC NC C NC NC NC NC NC
P-6 NC NC NC NC C NC NC C 80 Ω
G-1 C NC C NC C C C C C
G-2 NC NC NC NC NC NC NC NC NC
G-3 C C C C C C NC C C
G-4 C C C C C NC C C C
G-5 C C C NC C C C NC C
G-6 C C C C NC C C C C
NC: No continuity
C: Continuity

When looking at the back of the switch here is how I numbered the pins.
G 4
2 P 6
1 3 5

Ground wire (G) was black and I confirmed it as a ground. Power wire (P) is read and I confirmed it was live.

Rear switch down" does nothing.
Front switch down seems strange with the 80 ohm reading.
Front switch up seems strange it does nothing unless the limit switch is broken on the worm gear.

lets see if I can attach a file.
