Angry More corroded wires?!

Ok so Killer Tomato had some corroded wires (power relay) under the drivers seat. Well back at Reading YT did a temp fix while I was waiting for the power relay from Annapolis Subaru. I replaced the power window relay. Worked fine for nearly 5 months...no problems. I went a couple weeks without driving the car (work, other SVX, bike) and realized my windows wouldn't go down again after I was pulled over by a cop. I know that when these wires corrode that none of the windows work, the seat doesn't move, and the sunroof doesn't work. Well I don't have a sunroof, the windows aren't working, but my seat still moves. Before I rip up the carpet under the seat...I was wondering who here would be able to tell me where to start looking for these wires so that I can replace them. Or what else can I do. etc etc. Sometimes there are always weird/easy fixes for these type of things. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: More corroded wires?!

Quick question, did you just try the windows with the main drivers switch or did you also try with the other door switches?

Re: More corroded wires?!

can you confirm you are losing power to the switch?

Other switches are not working either.

I'm getting that buzzing noise again when I touch the switch. I don't play with it too much, I don't want to burn out the motor.
