Seat Back Latches - Electric: Description

Electric seat back release systems automatically release front seat back latches when either door is opened and locks latches when doors are closed. Both seat back latches also have a manual override release lever. When either door is opened, a door jam switch energizes a relay sending electric current to both seat back solenoids releasing seat latches. When both doors are closed, solenoids are de-energized and return springs return latches to lock positions.
