Power Seats Memory Switch Inoperative

  1. If memory seats system check was performed, go to next step. If memory seats system check was not performed, go to MEMORY SEATS SYSTEM CHECK  under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
  2. Operate power windows. If power windows operate properly, go to next step. If power windows do not operate properly, see POWER WINDOWS - SEVILLE article.
  3. If one or more memory functions are operating properly, go to step  8 . If no memory functions are operating properly, go to step  5 .
  4. Check for open in Black/White wire between memory function switch, left front power window switch and left front door control module. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If circuit is okay, go to next step. If faulty circuit is found, go to step  9 .
  5. Disconnect memory function switch Gray, 6-pin connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between memory switch terminal "E" and each of the following terminals. See Fig 1 .
    • Terminal "A" (White wire), depress memory function switch No. 1 button.
    • Terminal "B" (Purple wire), depress memory function switch No. 2 button.
    • Terminal "C" (Orange wire), depress memory function switch MEMORY SET button.

    If all resistance readings are less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If any resistance reading is greater than 5 ohms, go to step  8 .

  6. Disconnect Left Front Power Window Switch (LFPWS) connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between memory function switch connector terminals and LFPWS connector terminals as follows:
    • Memory switch "A", window switch No. 3 (White wire).
    • Memory switch "B", window switch No. 2 (Purple wire).
    • Memory switch "C", window switch No. 4 (Orange wire).

    If all resistance readings are less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If any resistance reading is more than 5 ohms, go to step  8 .

  7. Replace left front power window switch. See POWER WINDOWS - SEVILLE article. After repairs, recheck system operation.
