DATE: Dec. 8, 2000
SUBJECT:
Motor Replacement - Power Seat Slide Adjuster
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin describes new procedures for replacement of the seat motor which is now serviced separately.
MODELS:
1995 - 2000 FJ Avenger/Sebring/Talon
DISCUSSION:
New components and a repair procedure have been developed to replace failed seat slide motors. The process for replacing a motor as compared to a seat assembly will reduce repair time and component cost along with increasing customer satisfaction in the event this repair is required.
DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR PROCEDURES:
Determine if the motor has failed as follows:
1. Check fuses applicable to the circuit.
2. Check for power (12 v) to and from the switch while operating the switch.
3. Check for power (12 v) at the motor while operating the switch.
If power is available at the motor and the slide motor will not function,
perform the Repair Procedure.
