Power Seat Track: Operation

One single armature permanent magnet reversible motor is coupled to a worm gear box assembly. It is located in between the seat tracks and upper supports. The one single gear motor assembly attaches to the seat tracks and provide the various seat movements.

The electrical circuit is protected by a 20 amp circuit breaker located in the fuse block.

When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the switch contacts to the appropriate motor. The motor and drive operate to move the seat in the selected direction until the power seat switch is released, or until the travel limit of the power seat track adjuster is reached. When the power seat switch is moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This causes the motor and drive to run in the opposite direction.
