Default Power Seat Wiring

I've had my interior apart for awhile, and I've got the carpet back in and put the seats in and now I think I am missing something. Under the seat I have a white plug coming from the main harness that runs along the door frame. Then, there are the air tubes for the lumbar supports and a black electrical connection. Both of these run from seat to seat.

Under each seat is a black electrical connection and the air tube connection.

How do I connect the WHITE connector? The seats aren't getting power, so I'm guessing the white plug is the power source.

Is there a 2 into 1 connector I've lost? If so, should there be one for each side? Both seats have the exact setup.

I swore I saw a randome 2 into 1 pigtail laying around, and I cannot find it anywhere. Does anybody have the GM Part number for this? (if my thinking is correct)

Here is a picture of the plugs, underneath the seat:

Your missing a male white connector that plugs into the white one you have pictured. Look under the carpet. The black one plugs into the driver side seat motor.

where is the white male connector coming from? I moved some of the wires around.

I hope I don't have to pull this apart!

It comes from under the carpet. Im assuming it goes to the passenger side lumbar to supply power. Gotta love putting things back together after being apart for a while. LOL

the passenger side has the exact same setup.

So I'm wondering. Do the white and black connectors plug into a 2 into 1, and that plugs into the black plug on the seat?

The black connector plugs ino the driver seat motor. Should be a male and female( both white connectors) plugged togethor under driver seat, Im betting your other white connector is still under the carpet.

why would 2 white connectors plug together from the same harness?

The black plug and the wire tubes, run from seat to seat, over the trans tunnel. The seats do not get power with the black connectors plugged in.

I just can't think of where the white male is coming from.
