Driver and Passenger Power Seats Without Memory

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Sable, 2009 Ford Taurus X, and 2009 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The driver power seat uses a 6-way power seat track and 3 electric motors directly controlled by a seat mounted 6-way seat control switch for horizontal (forward/rearward), front height and rear height adjustment. The passenger seat uses a 2-way seat track with a single electric motor and is directly controlled by a 2-way seat mounted seat control switch for horizontal adjustment. Both driver and passenger seats can also be equipped with a power recliner mechanism, which uses a single electric motor and is also directly controlled by an 8-way seat control switch (driver seat) or a 4-way seat control switch (passenger).

The driver and passenger power seat and power recliner motors are hard-wired to the seat control switch. The circuits are normally at ground through the seat control switch. An individual motor is switched to voltage and ground when a specific adjustment position is selected. The power seat feature operates independent of the ignition switch position.
