2005 Ford Ranger Seat Cushion Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the front seat cushion of a 60 percent bench on 2005 Ford Ranger?

  A: Service operations on the front seat cushion of a 60 percent bench should begin with safety glasses due to its installed pyrotechnic safety belt pretensioner. Before taking out the affected seat users must deactivate the supplemental restraint system (SRS). Service the 60 percent bench by first removing the bench armrest then the seat backrest assembly followed by the seat track spring. The first step involves removing the two bolts on the rear and two bolts on the front seat cushion-to-frame followed by removing the seat track from the seat cushion frame. Remove the J-clips and the side foam pad retainer strap while paying attention to how the recliner cable travels within the seat cushion pan. The recliner cable can be removed after releasing its retaining element so operators can lift off the seat cushion pan from the foam pad. A complete clearance of hog rings allows one to remove the seat cushion trim cover. The seat cushion assembly requires installing the trim cover followed by hog ring attachment before returning the pan into the foam pad. Load the recliner cable through the seat plan area then fasten it with the retaining clip. First connect the J-clips and the side foam pad retainer strap and then proceed to install the seat track assembly followed by the front and rear seat cushion-to-frame bolts. The seat track spring together with the 60 percent seat backrest assembly and armrest should be reinstalled prior to seating the affected seat back. The service will finish with repowering the SRS system.
