  Q: How to Service and Repair a Front Seat Recliner Motor with a Seat Motor on Ford Expedition?

  A:

  Start service on the front seat recliner motor by setting the seat to reveal all the fasteners that bind the seat track to the floor. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be depowered beforehand for safety reasons because the air bag warning lamp will turn on during this process when the Ignition Switch is in the ON position but this normal condition does not indicate a fault. Unbolt the Seat Cover from the backrest, disconnect two screws while detaching the strap before removing the 40 percent seat. To remove the head restraint detachment start by releasing the trim cover from the hook-and-loop strip and J-clip. Depress the tab on the head restraint guide and note that these guides cannot be put in the incorrect positions. The guide ends must be caressingly pinched to release the two guides which can then be drawn out. During the process of separating the seat backrest trim cover from the hook-and-loop strip users must handle the material carefully to prevent damage to the backrest foam. Reverse the backrest trim cover to access a minimum number of steps before removing the backrest foam pad from its frame using hook-and-loop fasteners securing it to the thermo-electric device. Separate the pivot rod retainer and its cover before extracting the pivot rod through the power recline motor. Break the electrical connection then detach the bolt to retrieve the power recline motor unit. To finish the procedure reinstall the 40 percent seat while you repower the SRS system after reversing the uninstallation sequence.

  Q: How to Address Issues with the Seat Motor in a Ford Expedition?

  A:

  The service and repair work for power-fold seat motors starts with removing the third row seat which requires service. Begin by unlatching the cushion and extracting the inboard slide bracket cover-to-inboard slide bracket screw before elevating the cover outward and re-tighten it to 3 Nm (27 lb-ft) upon replacement. Move on to the safety belt anchor bolt removal while adjusting its tension to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) during installation phase. Separate the inboard slide bracket from the inboard latch by removing the inboard slide bracket-to-inboard latch nut and reinstall this fastener to a torque of 15 Nm (11 lb-ft). The inboard latch requires removal by first taking out its bolts from the backrest frame. The bolts need to be tightened to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft) when reinstalling the parts. The power-fold seat motor removal will be necessary for installing a cable assembly service kit so the technician should either grind or drill through the bottom of the rivets for extracting the motor assembly. The reverse procedure should be used to finish the installation.
