Power Seats


Each Seat Motor Assembly has reversible motors within the same housing. The Seat Control Switch determines the direction of current flow. The direction of current flow determines the direction of motor rotation.

If power is applied when a motor is stalled, a circuit breaker will protect the motor. The motor can stall from either mechanical failure or from running to the limit of travel.

The FWD/RWD Motor drives the seat forward and backward.

The Front Height Motor drives the front of the seat up and down.

The Rear Height Motor drives the front of the seat up and down.

The circuit is grounded when switches are at rest.

The Seat Control Switch sends current to turn the motors clockwise or counterclockwise. If the 6-way knob is set to the UP position, switch 3 is closed. Current is sent through switch 7 to the Rear Height Motor and through switch 1 to the Front Height Motor. The entire seat moves up.
