2008 Ford Taurus X Seat Motor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the power-fold seat motor on 2008 Ford Taurus X?

  A: Repair technicians should initiate seat motor service by removing the Taurus X second row seat that shows power-fold issues. The service procedure requires only removal of the cushion trim cover and cushion foam pad without disturbing their connection; hog rings and cover separation is not essential. Disconnect the electrical connector of the cushion heater mat while releasing its pin-type retainer. The first step involves removing the screw and recliner handle from the recliner mechanism before separating the outboard side outer recliner trim cover by taking out the screw and releasing the retainer tabs while making sure the pull strap passes through the trim cover hole. First detach the power-fold seat motor cable from the recliner then remove the cable jacket from the cable clamp to rotate the end guide for removal of the cable. Detach the power-fold seat motor by removing its two screws before disconnecting the two recliner-to-cushion frame bolts to extract the cable from the cushion frame. The installation ends by performing the steps in reverse sequence.
