- Turn ignition off. Remove seat. See POWER SEATΒ under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect 10-pin electrical harness connector from power seat control switch. Remove power seat control switch.
- Check continuity of ground circuit by connecting positive lead of DVOM to power seat control switch 10-pin electrical harness connector terminal No. 4 (White/Black wire) and negative lead of DVOM to good body ground point. If resistance is greater than one ohm, repair ground circuit between power seat control switch and ground point. If ground circuit is okay, go to next step. Ground point for driver seat with driving position memory is located in engine compartment on left front inner quarter panel. Ground point for driver seat without driving position memory is located at left front corner of luggage compartment (trunk). Ground point for passenger seat with driving position memory is located in engine compartment on right front inner quarter panel.
