Seat Recliner

The reclining switch on the driver's seat stopped working. The other switch to move the whole seat forward and back still works.

This happened after my stereo install, I'm assuming that was a coincidence, though. Any ideas how to fix it?

Check the connector to the seat back recline motor. Can't imagine how that would be involved in a stereo installation tho-

Not that I know of. I only unplugged the cables under the center console, which as far as I know have nothing to do with the seat. And everything was plugged back in.

Remove the 2 screws holding on the plastic piece that the seat switches are in & you will see it.
