Seatback motor only goes 1 way..

Same problem on my 12 SS convertible. Had it detailed. They pushed the seatback forward by pulling the lever on the back.
Then they used the motor switch to move the passenger seat all the way forward.
This probably tripped the micro switch on the left frame tube, next to the mechanical cable which releases the seatback to fold forward or back.
The reclining motor in the seatback, would only get electricity to recline forward. (And is was at th most forward limit.)

When pushing the button to recline backward. The motor did not even get any electricity.

I ended up removing the side panel of the seat, disconnecting the battery, and cutting and switching the 2 wires entering the motor...... guess what? Polarity reversed... and direction reversed! I jerry rigged the seat in its correct position.
I guess the little stop switch has something to do with it....

Any input please?
Thanks
