Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Component Testing
Seat Adjuster Switch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S64 Seat Adjuster Switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between the B+ terminal D and each control terminal with the switch in the open position.
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the S64 Seat Adjuster Switch.
- If less than infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the B+ terminal D and each control terminal with the appropriate switch in the closed position.
- If 2 Ω or greater
Replace the S64 Seat Adjuster Switch.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω
- If 2 Ω or greater
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the ground terminal B and each control terminal listed below with the switch in the open position.
- If 2 Ω or greater
Replace the S64 Seat Adjuster Switch.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω
- If 2 Ω or greater
- All OK.
Seat Motor
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate seat motor listed below:
- M51 Seat Horizontal Motor
- M50 Seat Front Vertical Motor
- M55 Seat Rear Vertical Motor
- Install a 30 A fused jumper wire between control terminal 1 and 12 V.
- Momentarily install a jumper wire between control terminal 3 and ground. The seat motor should momentarily perform the appropriate FORWARD/ REARWARD/ UP/ DOWN function.
- If the motor does not perform the FORWARD/ REARWARD/ UP/ DOWN function
Replace the motor.
- Go to next step: If the motor performs the FORWARD/ REARWARD/ UP/ DOWN function
- If the motor does not perform the FORWARD/ REARWARD/ UP/ DOWN function
- Reverse the jumper wires; the motor should perform UP/ DOWN function.
- If the motor does not perform the FORWARD/ REARWARD/ UP/ DOWN function
Replace the motor.
- Go to next step: If the motor performs the FORWARD/ REARWARD/ UP/ DOWN function
- If the motor does not perform the FORWARD/ REARWARD/ UP/ DOWN function
- All OK.
When performing the following tests, make sure that the seat is not already in the position the test is attempting to produce.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
