Power Seats: Notes

The 6-way power seats provide horizontal, vertical and tilt adjustments. System consists of control switch, seat regulator motor, vertical and horizontal screw drives and gear mechanism, housing assembly and necessary wiring. Seat function switches are mounted on side of seat trim panel. Power seat circuits are protected by fuses and/or circuit breakers located in fuse panel and power distribution box. Explorer Limited models have a driver's memory seat option that provides automatic programming of seat position.

Horizontal movement is controlled by a transmission, lead screw and motor attached to the movable section of the track. Vertical drive unit is located on left side of the movable track. Vertical operation energizes center and rear armatures and vertical drive units move seat up or down. In tilt operation, armatures move front or rear vertical drive screws to adjust seat. The motor unit is serviced as an assembly.
