Post Seat Recline Not Working

Hey guys,

I just installed heated seats in my '18 JK and since then, I no longer have the ability to adjust the recline on the seat! I can't figure out what I am missing!

Do I have to pre-tension the radial spring?

Is there supposed to be a cable on both sides of the seat? (there is a cable on both sides of the passenger seat, but I only have one on the exterior side of the driver's side seat)

Can someone maybe pull the cover flap up and take a picture of the driver's seat recline mechanism?

Thank you in advance for the help guys!

This might be a stupid question - but did you change the wiring of your seats with this install?
I thought most heated seat kits just required the covers to be pulled up then install the kit and re-cover.
Not sure how you ran power/ground/switch, pictures might help other members determine.

That was all that was required. I decided it would be easier to take the seat back off to make things more accessible. I tapped into the accessory power on the dash for power.

After learning my lesson on the driver's side, I just left the passeanger seat alone and only pulled back the cover without removing the seat.
