Second Row Power-Fold Seat

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For the second row power-fold seat to operate, voltage is supplied by the BCM to the rear seat release relay, enabling the seats to be moved by pressing the rear power seat release switch. The second row power-fold seat operates only when the vehicle is in PARK and the liftgate door is open.

The rear seat release relay is provided voltage on the coil side from the BCM for 30 minutes after ignition is turned off when the transmission selector is in PARK, and the liftgate door is open. After 30 minutes, the rear seat release relay can be enabled by opening any door, pressing the unlock key on the key fob, pressing any keyless keypad button or turning the ignition ON.

The second row power-fold seat actuators release a locking mechanism allowing the seat backrest to fold down onto the seat cushion.
