Installing Powered Seats on a 95

Hi, just bought tzmanles's leather seats and the driver's seat does not move on the power connectors that I have. The seat moved in his car with the identical wiring. My car came from the factory with manual driver and passenger seats, but appears to be prewired for a power seat, however this wire does not have any power or something because its not moving the seat I just got. The connectors appear okay. To clarify more, there are two connectors on the factory setup, but one is not plugged in. With the leather seats, both of these connectors plug in. The problem is the connector that goes to the motor is likely not giving power. With identical wiring in tzmanles's 98 maxima, the seat moved.

Is there a fuse somewhere that corresponds to the factory wire?

Is this a 12 volt wire and can I just run a wire off the accessory 12v?

My pics no longer work but the circuit breaker is up under the dash behind the fuse box.

Is theres a specific kind of circuit breaker I need to buy? Will it be immediately obvious? My car is on the street in the city so I won't be able to dig through my dash until I graduate college.

I can't find any good working links for a factory service manual.

Never mind, found a working link on nismo club, according to BF section page 26, i need a 30a fuse and circuit breaker 1. I guess Ill dig around.

Found a circuit breaker, looked like a black cylinder. Theres a plug next to it that looks like I plug a similar circuit breaker into. Didn't find the fuse location, all fuses are in the fuse box and the fuse box guide does not show any 30 amp seat fuses.

Edit: I see that the fuse goes before the circuit breakers. 30 amp fuse. Fusible link and fuse box (in the engine compartment?)

Okay, figured it out. Window and door lock is same 30 amp fuse as seats so all I need is that circuit breaker.

Is "Circuit Breaker 1" a 30 amp circuit breaker? What type should I order? The neighborhood Autozone lists several different circuit breakers in their catalog, I am thinking its the 30 amp "Push - In". Thanks. The factory service manual and the Chiltons just describe it as a Circuit Breaker 1, no help there.

Hey just completed a leather swap from a 96' I30 to my 96' Maxi.
Anyone have any info on adding some latches to the back seat for car seats?
