  Q: How to service and repair the power seat motor on Lincoln Town Car?

  A: You should start servicing or repairing the power seat motor by taking out the target seat and seat track. The seat track motor electrical connector needs disconnection before using specified pins with power connections to modify its horizontal position. You should check that the seat track motor assembly can be removed at its intended position; if movement is not possible then apply power to the drive tube with manual tube rotation. Move the outboard track forward so that its two teeth become visible alongside the retainer clip and position the drive tube flat spot facing upward. The alignment marks should be applied to the inboard and outboard track C-channels on the plastic-coated slide for future reinstallation purposes. Detachment of the memory seat module must begin with first noting connector positions before disconnecting the three memory position sensor electrical connectors. Detach the memory seat module from the necessary nuts and bolts which also include disconnection of wiring. To separate the drive tube from the stub shafts you must use a hammer when removing the inboard seat track-to-upper support assembly lift link nuts. Distraction of the seat track motor assembly begins by first unscrewing its bolts and nuts followed by gentle pry removal of the outboard track along with support straps. The memory seat position sensors should be eliminated through counterclockwise rotation. When installing the new seat track motor assembly position the stub shaft flat spots exactly like the old assembly while placing the motor correctly oriented right-side-up and lubricating the motor pivots with grease. Set the gears properly together with no spaces before you install the support straps tight against the height adjustment gears. Install the outboard track by aligning its index marks between C-channel and plastic-coated slide before ensuring all components sit tightly against each other. Tighten the seat track motor assembly-to-seat track bolts to a torque of 12 Nm while tightening the nuts to 14 Nm. Remove the bolt which disengages the SRS seat position sensor magnet assembly after checking the alignment of the index marks. Use the drive tube on the inboard track to slot the track onto the motor stub shaft after the lift links engage correctly. The inboard seat track-to-upper support assembly lift link nuts require tightening to 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) while checking that the index marks align properly. Reassemble the seat and SRS seat position sensor magnet assembly within the vehicle by aligning mounting holes while staying away from forced insertion. Memory seat equipped vehicles need customers to reconnect their components while having the driver seat run through its complete range of travel before reinstalling the seat. Finally, reinstall the seat.
