Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The passenger seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit 1462 (RD/WH) and is supplied ground on circuit 1205 (BK). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a power seat track motor to move the seat. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to that same power seat track motor, which moves the seat in the opposite direction. There is a power seat track motor that moves the seat horizontally (FORWARD/REVERSE) and a motor in the power recliner mechanism that moves the seat backrest forward or rearward.
