2007 Ford Taurus Seat Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How should you service the power seat switch while ensuring safety with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) on 2007 Ford Taurus?

  A: Wear safety glasses when servicing power seat switches because this operation needs to take place on vehicles with air bag supplemental restraint systems to prevent accidental deployment injuries. You should never probe air bag module or pretensioner electrical connectors because this will trigger deployment and result in personal injuries. Depower the SRS first then start the service. Perform a complete SRS operational check along with fault detection before handing the vehicle back to the customer. Remove the seat control switch electrical connector by unploading its tab before removing the recliner handle together with the side shield screw. To remove the outer side shield separate its concealed clips which connect to both the recliner mechanism and inner side shield before safely removing the shield. Two screws must be removed from the seat control switch framework. Install the new seat control switch after placing it in position and fastening it with both retaining screws. Put the power seat switch wire harness in position correctly when reattaching the inner side shield and snap in the outer side shield while pushing to lock its retaining clips before pressing inner and outer shields together. To complete the process install the outer side shield screw before attaching the recliner handle and connecting the seat control switch electrical connector and powering up the SRS.
