Take the seat back out and check to make sure the connectors are plugged in correctly, make sure none of the wiring got damaged during removal. If all checks out, see if a fuse blew (not sure if there's a single one specific to the rear seat, but just take a look if you haven't already).

It the pressure sensor plugged in? If not, the seat won't heat up because it thinks there isn't a body sitting in it.
