Switch Assembly

The procedure for repairing the power seat switch starts with safety precautions because technicians must wait one minute after battery cable removal to disconnect the electronic air bag control module along with other supplemental restraint system electrical connectors to prevent unwanted air bag activation. The first step requires front seat assembly removal followed by outer seat base cover detachment through retaining screw unfastening as well as releasing the retaining clip above the center retaining screw followed by front retaining clip release. To proceed with installation remove the wiring harness that connects to the seat base underframe and then disconnect its electrical connector. A trim tool becomes necessary to detach the control knobs before removing the retaining screws from behind the seat base cover. The installation process requires following the backward order of the removal steps.

Begin service or repairs of the power seat switch by letting the battery cables disconnect for one minute before unconnecting any electronic air bag control module or supplemental restraint electrical connectors to stop accidental air bag deployment. Start the service by eliminating the front seat assembly and clearing the outer seat base cover through retaining screw removal and by unfastening the retaining clip above the center retaining screw alongside the front retaining clip. The wiring harness located under the seat needs to be detached before the electrical connector can be unplugged. You must first remove the power seat control switch through a trimeration process to detach the knobs while extracting the two screws mounted on the seat base cover back panel. The installation process should be the reverse of this removal procedure.

Service and repair of the power seat switch requires a waiting period of at least one minute after disconnecting the battery cables to avoid accidental air bag deployment while disconnecting electrical connectors from the electronic air bag control module or any supplemental restraint system electric connections. Start repairs by disassembling the front seat yet retaining the outer seat base cover requires unscrewing hardware followed by cutting the retaining clip above and which needs to be unlatched alongside the front retaining clip. The next step includes disconnecting the electrical connector after removing the wiring harness from under the seat body. You should remove the power seat control switch by using a trim tool to uninstall the control knobs followed by removing two retaining screws found at the back of the seat base cover. When installing replace all parts in the opposite order of removal.
