Front Seat Adjuster Replacement Six-Way Power

1. If one side of the seat adjuster is not working, perform the following procedure:

1.1.

The horizontal drive motor (1) and drive cables (4) are located at the front of the seat. Verify that both cables are straight. If a cable is bent an end will be pulled out of the drive motor or drive screw. Straighten the cable. You may have to toggle the seat switch to get the cable ends to properly seat.

1.2.	Run the seat forward until the seat removal bolts are accessible.

1.3.	Once the seat is removed examine the cables to assure that no damage has occurred.

Use the following steps to align the adjuster:

1.4.1.

Tip the seat rearward.

1.4.2.

Reconnect the adjuster to the power switch.

1.4.3.

Run the seat adjuster rearward until the drive bracket (3) and the anchor bracket (2) are together on one side of the adjuster.

1.4.4.

Disconnect the drive cable on that side and run the opposite side rearward until its brackets touch.

1.4.5.

Re-attach the cables  (4) to the motor and verify that the cables are straight between the motor (1) and the drive brackets (3).
