Sounds like a seized motor or a broken gear in the seat mechanism. The click you hear is the relay, but the motor isn't getting power or is jammed. Check the floor fuse box (often fuse 12 or 15, but verify in your manual) first. If fuses are good, it's likely the motor/gearbox has failed common issue on these. You'll probably need a new seat motor unit.

Door switch

When I first got my car I was excited to show someone the rear seat, - but it failed to recline as you describe.

Cue to me checking fuses etc until next drive I noticed a light on drivers door controls - I had hit the “kiddy switch” that locks out rear controls by accident!!!

Maybe worth a quick check first
