2006 Lincoln Town Car Seat Motor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How can you safely service and repair the lumbar seat motor equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) on 2006 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Safety glasses are necessary equipment for servicing the lumbar motor because accidental air bag deployments pose risks of injury when working on vehicles with supplemental restraint systems (SRS). Hand washing becomes necessary after deployment to eliminate sodium hydroxide that remains from the air bag surface because this chemical irritates skin. Avoid all contact with the air bag module connectors to stop activation and avoid harm because memory saver devices will never be used. The technician must verify that the SRS is properly depowered through the air bag warning lamp illumination when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition key is ON because this is a normal condition without indicating any fault. Start by seating the component for fastener access before turning off the SRS system and taking out the vulnerable seat. The repair and cleaning process for front seat backrest trim covers with side air bags is limited to replacement only since replacement is necessary but cleaning remains permissible. You should start clip removal from the lower J-clip and then proceed with the two side J-clips on the seat backrest trim cover. First disconnect the wiring harness electrical connector after which workers remove two rivets and pull out the lumbar motor. To detach the lumbar assembly first access the lower portion on the bottom of the seat backrest frame then remove the assembly from the upper portion by accessing it through the foam pad. The installation requires mounting the lumbar assembly on the upper backrest frame which can be accessed from between the foam pad before attaching it to the lower backrest frame retainer while guiding the cable and motor to their proper positions. Mount the lumbar motor after inserting two new rivets which should then be connected to the electrical connector. Start by attaching the two side J-clips at the seat top to keep the trim cover material smooth before fastening the J-clips in order: begin with the side clips then proceed to the lower clip. Repower the SRS while performing the installation of the affected seat.
