Driver side power recline only works one way. Seat reclines but does not come back up. intermittent clicking when acctuating the switch to raise back of seat. Fuses are OK and no loose wiring found. Puzzled.

If the motor works one way, you know the motor, wiring, and any fuses are good. That just leaves the switch which is actually four switch contacts in one assembly. You might be able to take it apart and clean the contacts with sandpaper if it isn't burned up.
