ISSUE

The power seat control button (knob) may detach from the switch actuator. This may be due to insufficient adhesion between the button and the switch actuator.

ACTION

Attach a new button and use an adhesive to reduce the possibility of the button detaching from the actuator. The button was not previously adhered. This revised process has been tested for shear and pull strengths. Refer to the following text for details.

Refer to the Instruction Sheet included with Knob Kit (F85Z-14711-AA). Ford Instant Adhesive (E8AZ-19554-A) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G402-A4 is not included with the kit, but is required to complete this repair procedure. Order Ford Instant Adhesive separately.
