Default Seat Heat & Motors, DSC Don't Work

Took apart center console to replace blower motor and one of the connectors to the seat heat control and DSC box broke. I bought a connector online, soldered it, and hooked everything back up but it isn't working. The buttons on the box light up but DSC is inactive, seat heaters don't work, nor do the electric motors on the seat.

Any ideas? Bought another box to try out, but other than that do you guys think it has to be reprogrammed or could be electric issue persisting?

Connector in question is the one in the image, marked with the green arrow on the left

All those OEM connectors are on RealOEM site.

You might have a bad "knock off" connector.

If there is one thing I've learned with these cars its you have to work on them with the precision of a plastic surgeon.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the above statement.

Got the connector from a salvaged part but yeah could still be a faulty connector
