Passenger power seat fuse keeps blowing

Short and sweet. I removed the seat with somebody to rewire some cables. He was putting it back so I didn't see where the plugs go. The person sporadically disappeared since. I keep blowing fuse F and E when using passenger seat adjust (the fat slider). I can disassembled door but the box there looks ok. I think he may have not plugged the cables well.

Since I need too slide the seat to get the other 2 bolts in the back off to fully take the seat out I don't want to waste a fuse. Those blue are neither cheap nor easy to find. I still have a few for testing, but this thing blows 2 at a time. Can you see if the cables are correct? If need be I'll take the seat appart.

The box in the door fell once on the ground while I was taking it out for another thing. Something inside may have broken. I opened it, but the chip board was on top, so no way to see inside without making it unusable. Perhaps it's also a culprit. Also, it has more connectors going into it than the driver's side with the memory, so I can't swap and test. I suspect this as well, since after we mounted the seat back the adjust works.

It's worth noting that the fuses don't blow right away. Looks like they blow after use, 1 by 1 perhaps. Any ideas?

Fixed by removing a badly routed cable under the seat. Again, it wasn't me who routed it after we put the seat back, so I would have remembered. Only 1 wire was slightly cut and making a short. I sealed it and rerouted the harness.
