2009 Ford Flex Seat Motor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the power-fold seat motor for the second row on 2009 Ford Flex?

  A: The power-fold seat motor service demands removal of the second row seat as the first step. The hog rings and the connection between the cushion trim cover and cushion foam pad do not require removal for service purposes. You can proceed by removing the foam pad with trim cover. Detach the cushion heater mat electrical connector followed by removing its pin-type retainer. Start by removing two screws from the recliner handle then proceed to uninstall the outboard outer recliner trim cover by removing its screw while detaching the retainers until trim covers separate but maintain the pull strap through its hole in the trim cover. The power-fold seat motor cable must be disconnected from the recliner before releasing the cable jacket from the cable clamp and using the cable end guide to unlock it. Detach the power-fold seat motor with its two retaining screws and loosen the two recliner-to-cushion frame bolts before extracting the cable through the cushion frame to take out the power-fold seat motor. Install this motor without exceeding 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) torque during installation. The installation is finalized by proceeding with the opposite steps taken during removal.
