To my knowledge, no Mystique or Contour has a power function for the backrest angle. It's controlled manually with the handle on the side of the seat. Only the seat bottom is powered.
My 1996 has power function for backrest angle as well as lumbar support. It was an option for the power seats.
Check the switch connections. Maybe it is worn out (if you don't hear any sound). If you hear some clicking sound, the gear could be stripped. And does the lumbar support work?
Edit. From my 1996 manual.
"Power seatback (if equipped)
The seatback controls on the driver�s seat
To tilt the seatback forward or back, slide the top part of the top button forward or back. To inflate or deflate the lumbar support pads, slide the bottom of the button forward or back."
