2006 Lincoln Town Car Seat Motor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to safely service and repair the front Seat Motor for optimal functionality on 2006 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The front seat track motor service takes place while using safety glasses along with supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicles to reduce air bag-related injuries and remove all memory saver devices. The seat fasteners need to achieve their specified torque setting for normal seat function and user safety. The SRS should be discharged before starting work and technicians must inspect the SRS for faults after the service before returning the vehicle to the customer. To proceed with the seat repositioning start by placing the seat at the center between the front and rear vertical motors. Pressuring the seat cushion while activating the control switch should be done first to test for seat movement; a replacement track assembly is necessary if the seat remains fixed. The process to access fasteners involves moving the seat horizontally before taking out the seat together with its track. When adjusting the seat track horizontal position disconnect its electrical connector while applying power and ground signals to correct pins. The outboard track should be set at two teeth level with the retainer clip while the drive tube should show its flat spot pointing upward. Note down the tracked position of inboard and outboard C-channels which will assist in accurate realignment after track removal Remove the memory seat module together with the bracket and wiring and set aside each connector location while disconnecting the memory position sensors. Use a clamp on the drive tube at the inboard track gear stub shaft while taping it to perform a separation from the seat track motor assembly. Carefully remove the seat track motor assembly together with its outboard track by prying apart the support straps and motor assembly components. Going through these steps only become necessary if there are memory position sensors present which can be removed through counterclockwise rotation. When installing position your memory position sensors correctly while making sure that the new seat track motor assembly faces consistent with the flat surfaces of the old unit. Install the motor assembly while applying grease to the pivots then mesh the gears to prevent gaps between them. Properly install the support straps so they will rest directly against the adjustment gears. Test the outboard track C-channel and plastic-coated slide index points before installing the components to confirm they rest in an even position. Secure both seat track motor assembly-to-seat track bolts and outboard retainer clip nuts using a torque of 12 Nm and 14 Nm respectively. After reinstalling the outboard retainer clip you should verify that the index marks remain aligned. After removing the bolt the SRS seat position sensor magnet assembly will disconnect from the position sensor. Then inspect the inboard track's alignment. Mount the seat track motor assembly with the upper support assembly and inboard track where drive tube and lift links properly join. After tightening inboard lift link nuts to 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) check if the index marks show proper alignment. Secure the SRS seat position sensor magnet assembly bolt with torque of 9 Nm (80 lb-in). Set the seat track inside the vehicle so its mounting feet rest against the floor pan holes without using unnecessary force. Memory seat installations require connection of components and proper routing of the wire harness alongside correct connector attachment for each component. Complete the task by fitting the seat track along with the seat and repowering the SRS system followed by seat cycling for vehicles with memory seats.
