Power Seat Switch







Description

The available power driver and front passenger seats can be adjusted using the power seat switch, located on the outboard seat cushion side shield.

Operation

When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the switch contacts to the power seat adjuster motors or recliner motor. The power seat motors operate to move the seat or recliner through their drive units in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the power seat 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.

No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its travel limit. The power seat adjuster and recliner motors each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker may result in motor damage.
