  Q: How can you safely service the Seat Heater Switch with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) on Mercury Mariner?

  A: The heated Seat Switch service requires safety glasses when working on vehicles featuring Air Bag SRS systems to protect from accidental air bag deployment injuries. Probing air bag module or pretensioner connectors should be avoided because such action may cause deployment which presents serious injury risks. Safety glasses become necessary equipment for anyone who works on safety belt pretensioners and their associated components because they represent a pyrotechnic device. Memory saver devices must not be utilized because they fail to decrease the odds of injury. Begin by depowering the SRS. Start by removing the recliner handle cover together with the outboard front seat side cushion shield while you detach two screws when working on the outboard passenger seat shield before sliding it forward. Unplug the heated seat switch electrical link together with the additional disconnected accessory of the seat control switch electrical connector if present. The driver seat side cushion shield requires removing three screws before disconnecting its heated seat switch electrical connector. First reinstall the heated seat switch after completing the reverse installation steps and then activate the SRS with power before giving the vehicle back to the customer as long as the system operates without any issues.
