I have the same problem with my driver seat and the only easy way I found to fix that issue is to replace that seat.Try your local junkyard for seats...

There's a shaft inside that reclines the seat its a bar that runs accross the back sometimes they strip the gears if ur getting power and its not moving then this might be the problem I remember seeing a DIY on here at one point....
