Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation
Seat Switch and Bezel Remove/Install
DRIVER POWER SEAT SWITCH
The power seat in standard cab models can be adjusted in eight different directions, up, down, front up, front down, rear up, rear down, rearward and
forward. The power seat switch for quad cab models has an additional switch knob for adjusting the power lumbar support. The switch is located on the
lower outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion side shield on all models. 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.
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.
When a power 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.
