2007 Lincoln Town Car Seat Motor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How should one service the power seat motor safely and effectively on 2007 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Safety glasses should be worn during power seat motor servicing because they protect against possible air bag activation injuries while the air bag module connectors should not be touched. Start the maintenance by depowering the supplemental restraint system (SRS). Push the seat cushion in the needed direction while checking if activate the control switch moves the seat to the midpoint of front and rear motors. A new seat track assembly must be installed whenever the seat fails to move. The process to access all seat-to-floor fasteners requires moving the seat horizontally until you can remove seat and seat track. To move the seat track horizontally, disconnect its electrical connector before you provide specified power and ground connections. You should first check if the assembly can be removed at its proper alignment point. However, if movement is not possible you should manually spin the drive tube tube using electrical power. Use markers to note down the positions of both track C-channels for correct alignment when reinstalling. Remove the memory seat module together with its bracket along with wiring by keeping track of their connector positions. Remove the inboard seat track-to-upper support assembly lift link nuts then separate the drive tube from the seat track motor assembly by clamping at the inboard track gear stub shaft and hitting it with a hammer if required. To begin installation disassemble the seat track motor assembly by taking out nuts and bolts that connect it to the seat track and also removing the outboard retainer clip together with support straps. Detach the seat track motor assembly from its position on the upper support assembly while also unmounting any memory position sensors that exist. Installation consists of placing memory position sensors correctly then verifying that the new seat track motor assembly lines up with the original position. Fasten the seat track motor assembly to the upper support assembly while applying multi-purpose grease to the motor pivots and verifying the absence of gaps between the gears. The support straps must be correctly installed before checking that both inboard track C-channel index marks match the plastic-coated slide's index marks then inserting the pinion cage onto the outboard track. Put the outboard track into position while making sure all components have a tight fit against each other and tighten the seat track motor assembly-to-seat track bolts to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) while nut tightening reaches 14 Nm (10 lb-ft). Verify how the index marks align before removing the bolt which disconnects the SRS seat position sensor magnet assembly and check inboard track alignment. Construct the seat track motor assembly by joining it with the upper support assembly while bringing in the inboard track to allow drive tube and lift link engagement. The second verification of index mark alignment needs to be performed after securing the inboard seat track-to-upper support assembly lift link nuts at 27 Nm (20 lb-ft). Position the SRS seat position sensor magnet assembly and fasten the bolt at 9 Nm (80 lb-in). The final step includes installing the seat track into the vehicle where all mounting holes should fit together without excessive force while memory seat owners should complete their component connection. Reinstall the seat track while replacing it with the seat unit before powering up SRS and performing a memory seat cycle when they exist.
