Pull the switch and put it back in "upside down". I have heard of those being installed incorrectly before. I'm not saying you did, but that will fix the immediate problem.
The switch can only connect one way there’s no way possible to connect upside down, wish I could….

Do you have headed seats? My money says the yellow and green wires go there -- but it is just a guess.

Most likely the clicking you are experiencing is one of the motors is bad. The gear inside it broke.sorry about the wrong information on the seat switch, I was sure it could be turned upside down. Guess I'll have to tune my daughter's seat.

You could take driver's seat apart see if it has those green and yellow wires to see where they go. The green wire has come unplugged from something should be able to find in area of length wire. May go to recline motor your having problem with.

Here's the seat connectors for a Yukon Denali. Hope this helps.

If all else fails, you can typically get an entire seat -- with the leather totally thrashed -- for $50 -- including the motors. Just make sure the motors work before you buy it. Also, the same seats were used in all the GMT800 trucks and SUVs: Avalanche, Escalade (all versions), Sierra (all versions), Silverado (All versions), Yukon (all versions). Not all of those came with electric adjustable seats, so pay attention to that.

Anyway, Look at Craigslist, FB Marketplace, and/or OfferUp.
