  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Power seat switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal G and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
  4. Connect a test lamp between B+ circuit terminal F and ground terminal A. The test lamp should turn ON.
    • If the test does not turn ON, test the B+ circuit for an open.
  5. Reconnect the harness connector at the power seat switch and disconnect the harness connector at the seat motor. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 1 and control circuit terminal 5.
  6. With the power seat switch command the seat UP and DOWN. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the seat UP and DOWN.
    • If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands, test for a short to ground or an open on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat switch.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the 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.
