The power seat adjuster (1) used on convertible models contain two reversible motors that are connected to worm-drive gearboxes that move the seat adjuster through screw-type drive units. These motors are the height adjust motor (3) and the front tilt motor (2). A third motor is responsible for the fore and aft movement of the seat. The fore/aft motor (4) is a reversible motor that is connected through two flex drive cables to a worm-drive gearbox that moves the seat adjuster through a screw-type drive unit. Each motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect it from overload. Consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breakers may damaged the motors.
