I'd say the relay has a diode failure in the relay. My seats only operated with the doors open and the ignition on or off. I replaced one of the two diodes, 10 cents each, and they now work as stated above. I always wondered what the other diode affected and now I may know.

Here's info that you posted from the shop manual in a previous thread that desribes the way mine works, but is different from your current discription?

From the Shop Manual
OPERATION
The power seat lower switch adjusts the bottom portion of the seat forward and backward as well as tilting upward and downward both in the front and rear when the switch is pressed in that direction. The back portion of the seat reclines when the power seat rear switch is tilted forward or rearward. The driver side power seat switches areoperational with the driver door open, regardless of the ignition switch key position. If the driver door is closed, the ignition switch key must be turned to the ON/RUN position. See the owner’s manual in the glove box for more information.
