2008 ML350 Rear SAM replaced and programed no power seats

Rear SAM was bad from water damage. I replaced and took it to have new SAM Coded. Now Front power seats wont work. put old SAM back in and they work. so its something with the new SAM. Any thoughts?

This place is a joke.
It's been programmed incorrectly. There's a coding in there that's a little tricky to understand about the seats. Whatever it was set to, the opposite needs to be selected.

You must extract the data in the old SAM and then transpose it into the new SAM. See highlighted area in PDF.

I have the same issue except before the sam change fuel and seats didnt work. i bought a used one and now the fuel works but not the seats. xentry states it does not see the seats. this makes me believe its a connector or wire issue. the old one was corroded and cleaned. i'm open for suggestions.
