When servicing or repairing the front tilt motor of the power seat, remove and separate the battery's negative cable first. The next step is to take out the seat that won't move and take out the
Seat Cushion and the pan below. Unplug the connector from the motor, then remove the nuts or bolts securing it to the seat adjustment, before removing the motor. Place the new motor onto the seat adjuster and lock it in place by fastening all screws to a torque of 5 N.m (44 in. lbs.). Join the electrical connector to the motor, put the seat cushion back, fasten the wire harness to the cushion pan and then assemble the seat. In the end, connect the negative side of the
Battery Cable again and check that the power seat assembly works properly. Should you discover a loose locking pawl, a locking pawl inside the seat frame, a missing shear pin or a broken shear pin, replace the height adjuster assembly rather than attempting repairs, since not following this advice may lead to personal injury or death.
