2003 Ford Explorer Sport Seat Cushion Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front seat cushion on 2003 Ford Explorer Sport?

  A: The front seat cushion service and repair procedure begins with seat cushion removal followed by actuator disconnection of the seat backrest recliner. Heated seats require motorists to cut connectors from heated seat elements on the cushion and heated seat module before unlocking the bracket tab using a screwdriver and extracting the module system. When replacing the power lumbar motor it is necessary to first remove the rear J-clip then take out the power lumbar motor anus after disconnecting its electrical connector and removing the power lumbar bladder hose. The seat cushion frame needs to be separated from the foam by unhooking its J-clips from the trim cover. Flip the trim upside down while removing both swing rod to tie-down wire hog rings from each side so they can be disposed. Heat-seated vehicles need the component removal of the heated seat element inside the seat cushion. The power seat wiring harness needs removal after disconnecting all pin-type retainers from the vehicle. First remove the flexilator elements with its spring attachments before you detach the backrest recliner roll pins from their recliners while disconnecting the actuator cable housings and unhooking the actuator cables. To assemble the seat backrest recliners apply them to the actuator while installing roll pins before adding the flexilator alongside its springs. You can reinstall the power seat wiring harness according to the instructions while heated seats require the heated seat element placement on the cushion foam pad. Sightley install the front swing rod where it needs to sit below the border wire within the foam then apply hog rings to stabilize the swing rods and fasten the wires. The seat cushion trim should be inverted and the frame should receive the seat cushion foam installation. The power lumbar installation for vehicles requires attaching the power lumbar motor while connecting power lumbar hose and electrical connector through a screw and J-clip. Position the heated seat module until completion onto the bracket then attach its electrical connection. The procedure ends by putting the seat cushion frame into position while you connect the backrest recliner actuator then attach J-clips to the trim cover before reassembling the seat cushion.
