2007 Mercury Monterey Seat Cushion Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the front driver side seat cushion on 2007 Mercury Monterey?

  A: During front driver seat cushion service require safety glasses for deployment protection then perform hand washing after air bag work because sodium hydroxide residue may be present. Always disable the supplemental restraint system (SRS) during the commencement of work. Knock off the driver seat followed by removing the seat control knob and recliner handle cover until you reach the LH side shield screws and disconnect the seat control switch (if present). The procedure requires removal of RH side shield screws before disconnecting the seat side air bag electrical connector for which you should document the path for reinstallation. Before maintenance detach the backrest thermo-electric device connector along with the climate-controlled seat duct. The process requires disconnecting the three memory seat motor position sensor connectors. Cold seat heater mats should have their two connectors detached. You must detach the pretensioner safety belt buckle connectors before extracting the pretensioner unit by tightening its bolt to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) when reinstalling. The backrest-to-seat track bolts require removal for manual seats with three pieces and power seats with four pieces before the seat backrest can be detached by tightening bolts to 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) during reassembly. The separation process requires disconnecting electrical connectors and pin-type retainers to split the seat cushion frame from the seat track and riser before you can remove the four seat track-to-seat cushion frame bolts and the seat cushion whose bolts need tightening to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) torque settings. First remove the J-clips before you disconnect the seat cushion hog rings and pull off the seat cushion trim cover and the foam pad. The heater seat process requires users to uninstall the heated seat module together with any required cushion heater mat. The removal process of ten climate-controlled seating includes unfastening the TED bezel screw before separating the TED and climate-controlled seat duct and disconnecting the seat fan motor and climate-controlled seat module connectors. When replacing memory seats users must break the connection to the driver seat module connectors. Return the disassembly steps in reverse order to install the driver seat while conducting the power-up procedure for the SRS.
