Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation
DRIVER SEAT SWITCH
Vehicles equipped with power seats utilize a eightway power seat switch. Hard-top models utilize an power seat switch with two knobs ganged
together on the outboard seat cushion side shield. Convertible models utilize an power seat switch with three knobs ganged together. The switches
are secured to the back of the seat cushion side shield with two screws. However, the control knobs for the hard-top eight- way power seat switch
unit must be removed before the seat switch can be removed from the side shield.
The power seat can be adjusted in eight different ways using either of the power seat switches. The power seat can be adjusted up, down, forward,
rearward, front up, front down, rear up and rear down, using either of the power seat switches.
The individual switches in the power seat switch module cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged or faulty, the entire power seat switch
module must be replaced. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the power seat switch functions and the
seat adjusting procedures.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the switch contacts to the
power seat track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or recliner through its drive unit in the
selected direction until the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite
direction, the battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to run in the
opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its travel limit. The power seat adjuster motors each
contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be
allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged. See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the power seat switch
functions and the seat adjusting procedures.
