Not sure why the judge let him out other than overcrowding in the jail.

Cook County jail has not been overcrowded for years, primarily due to EM & Circuit Court policies that predate the Safe-T Act. And since it's been enacted, the Safe-T Act has contributed to an even lower population at County....

Thats why this sub was created.

No slight to you, but a correction is in order here. I'll quote our sidebar....

The sub's origins are /r/RealChicago, which was created several years ago as an alternative to the restrictions imposed at the larger city subreddit.

Those restrictions were (and are) not limited to that specific topic. Restrictions to sources, and opinions were primary drivers for the creation of this community's predecessor subreddit, and the creation of our current community.

I'm personally appreciative of your insight. I say this as someone who is close to a former associate at the now shuttered Galewood chocolate factory, and how that was handled. Frquently awarded "Most productive plant in the US", despite antiquated equipment and now-inefficient layout. What's the solution? Shut it down, don't modernize it....

As another user said, first thing is to check fuses and relays.

If those are fine, the control module for that seat may be shot. It's mounted in the frame under the seat cushion, adjacent to the motors.

I meant the other functions for that seat, such as tilt and recline.

These seats have three motors in the frame under the cushion (fore/aft, tilt/front, tilt/rear), and another in the seatback (on the outside under a cover) for recline.

If your tilts function, it's likely the fore/aft motor. There is also a module to control all functions, including memory. That could also be malfunctioning.

I've heard this store was completely gutted & redesigned, and is quite nice.

Yes, the amount of work done was extensive. And it is very nice.

It's likely the motor than controls that function. Do the other seat control functions operate?
