• Q: How to Service and Repair the Seat Heater and Seat Control Seat Switch for Both the Driver and Passenger Seats on 2009 Ford Flex?

  A: Start all service and repair work on seat heater switches and seat control switches for driver and passenger seats only when the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is operational without faults throughout the vehicle. The initial step should involve turning off the ignition and allowing a one-minute interval to drain back up power before seat deployment can happen accidentally. The driver seat manual recliner handle needs removal if present before unclipping the seat cushion side shield to extract the handle from its shaft. The passenger seat recliner handle clip becomes accessible by pulling the back flap which allows removal of the clip to detach the handle from the shaft. Users should remove the manual lumbar knob by accessing and removing the clip which joins the seat cushion to the side shield. The cushion side shield cover can be removed from the driver seat by pulling it out while you need to release three clips and move the cover backward to remove it from the passenger seat. The safety belt anchor can be separated from the seat through three steps: the driver seat requires removal of the safety belt anchor bolt while the passenger seat needs Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) electrical connector disconnection and safety belt anchor bolt removal before anchor separation. You must take off both the scrivet and screws from the cushion side shield then Push it out to let the clips detach before disconnecting the seat control switch through wire harness pin-type retainer separation. The seat control switch knobs require pulling off while the retainers need to be released prior to removing the switch. Place the seat control switch against the cushion side shield before pressing it into the retainers to connect the knob(s). You should link the electrical connector of the seat control switch while you must use the wire harness pin-type retainer to secure it. Reinstall the cushion side shield after resetting all retaining clips and ensuring their proper seating on the seat then finish by using screws and scrivet installation. Applicants should put back the flap then install the safety belt anchor bolt at 40 Nm torque followed by BTS electrical connector connection. The cushion side shield cover requires installation before installing the manual lumbar knob when it is available. Align its splines before seating the clip. You should install the manual recliner handle by placing the splines in position while setting the clip. The Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset procedure should be performed for the passenger seat.
