  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver seat adjuster switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal and ground for the appropriate seat adjuster switch listed below:
    • RPO AG1 ground circuit terminals A and G
    • RPO AE8 ground circuit terminal B
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal and ground for the seat adjuster switch listed below:
    • RPO AG1 B+ circuit terminal F
    • RPO AE8 B+ circuit terminal E
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the seat adjuster switch.
  5. Disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative seat motor.
  6. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminals of the seat motor.
  7. Activate the appropriate seat switch to the FORWARD/UP and REARWARD/DOWN directions. The test lamp should turn ON while activating the switch in the both directions.
    • If the test lamp remains OFF for either direction, test the motor control circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the seat adjuster switch.
  8. If all circuits tests normal, test or replace the appropriate seat motor.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

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