INFORMATION
Subject:
Driver's Power Seat
Models:
1995 Chevrolet and GMC C/K Models
with Driver's Power Seat (RPO AG9 & AE7 or A95)
Some owners may report the driver's power seat is inoperative.
The power seat wiring between the seat operating switches and the seat motors is bundled together with tape on vehicles manufactured before 3/13/95. Normal use of the seat may cause movement of the wire bundle against the seat frame or the seat suspension wires. Vehicles manufactured after that date have a protective conduit.
When making any repair to the driver's power seat, inspect the power seat wiring between the seat operating switches and the seat motors (see Figure 1), for signs of damage to the tape or insulation. Repair any damaged wire/s following the procedure described in Section 8A (Electrical Diagnosis Repair Procedures) of the 1995 C/K Truck Service Manual. In addition, install protective wire conduit, P/N 8919355, cut to required length, over the wires so that it extends past the seat frame edge. Tape the conduit at both ends to secure it properly. Nylon conduit material, 0.50" (13 mm) diameter may be procured locally if this part number is not readily available.
