2005 Ford Crown Victoria Seat Motor Parts Q&A

• Q: How should one service the power seat motor safely and effectively on 2005 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: Safety glasses should be worn when servicing power seats because they reduce the risk of accidental air bag deployment injuries while protecting from approaching the air bag module connectors. Perform a supplemental restraint system (SRS) disconnection procedure as your first task before starting the work. The seat should be positioned at the center point of the front and rear vertical motor assembly. Testing the control switch should activate the seat movement. In case the seat fails to move the technician must gently push the seat toward the target position. The seat needs replacement with a new assembly when the seat fails to move. Move the seat on a horizontal plane to reach all floor fasteners before you take out the seat and its track. Use the correct pins to provide power and ground in order to adjust the seat track horizontally after disconnecting its electrical connector. Position the outboard track forward so you can see the two teeth adjacent to the retainer clip. Then make marks on both track C-channels to the plastic-coated slide because these will assist with alignment when reinstalling. The passenger seat heated seat module bracket requires removal of its nut before placing the bracket in a safe location. Start by removing the two lift link nuts before performing a hammer separation of the drive tube from the stub shafts while keeping a clamp on the inboard track gear stub shaft. Before removing the seat track motor assembly from the outboard track, detach its retainer clip and bolts securing it to the track while deliberaly unwiring both track components. When replacing the seat track motor assembly maintain its position similar to the old one by matching the flat areas on the stub shafts. The seat track motor assembly should be installed onto the upper support assembly and have multi-purpose grease applied to its pivots as the gears are meshed to avoid gaps. Apply the support straps directly against the height adjustment gears which positions the pinion cage correctly. Follow these steps to build the outboard track by matching all its components properly before fixing the bolts and nuts without excessive tightening force. If the index marks from inboard and outboard tracks are not aligned then perform the required actions again. Before installing both sets of seats the driver should release the magnet assembly while every chair needs its index marks to match on the inside track C-channel. The seat track placement in the vehicle should begin with aligning the mounting holes to the floor pan while avoiding any force on them and conducting the seat track installation followed by checking SRS functions before finalizing the procedure.
