Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation
Outboard View Of Left Seat Cushion
A single two-way momentary power seat switch is located on the outboard seat cushion side shield of the drivers front seat. The power seat switch is
secured to the back of the seat cushion side shield with two screws, and the switch paddle protrudes through a hole to the outside of the shield. The
switch paddle is located in a shallow depression molded into the outer surface of the seat cushion side shield that helps to shroud it from unintentional
actuation when entering or exiting the vehicle.
The power seat switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
When the power seat switch paddle is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the switch contacts to the power seat track adjuster
motor. The motor operates to move the seat track adjuster 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 motor to run in the opposite direction.
The power seat switch should not be held applied in either direction after the adjuster has reached its travel limit. The power seat adjuster motor contains
a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect it from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to
continue, or the motor may be damaged.
