Test A: Power Seat Inoperative (Passenger Side Only)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Vehicle is equipped with seatback-mounted air bags. Deactivate air bag system before performing any service operation involving seat components. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article in RESTRAINTS.
CAUTION: Air Bag Simulator (40-009) MUST be connected to all air bag floor harness connectors. After diagnosis/repair, air bag simulator must be removed prior to operating vehicle.
  1. Disconnect passenger seat control switch harness connector. See Fig 1. Measure voltage between ground and seat control switch harness connector terminal No. 7 (Red/White wire). If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Red/White wire between battery junction box and seat control switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  2. Measure resistance between ground and seat control switch harness connector terminal No. 1 (Black wire). If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace seat control switch. See SEAT CONTROL SWITCH  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Black wire between seat control switch and ground. Ground point is located near fuel tank. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
