Remove power seat adjustment switch cover. See FRONT SEATS under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect 3-pin connector from recline switch. See Fig 1 . Using a DVOM, check for continuity between terminals. When seat is tilted forward fully, continuity should exist between terminals No. 3 and 2. When seat is tilted back fully, continuity should exist between terminals No. 1 and 2. If continuity is not as specified, replace limit switch.
