Power Seats

How the Circuit Works

Driver's Power Seat (except DPMS)
Power is provided at all times through fuses 2 and 4 (in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box) to the driver's power seat adjustment switch.

Front Up/Down
When the front up-down switch is moved to DOWN, power is supplied to the front up-down motor through the DOWN contact of the front up-down switch. The front up-down motor is grounded through the UP contact of the front up-down switch. The motor will run until the switch is released or the seat reaches the full front down position. The contacts for UP operation of the front up-down switch are wired the opposite way of the DOWN contacts, causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Rear Up-Down
Rear up-down operation is similar to the front up-down operation.

Recline
Recline operation is similar to the front up-down operation.

Slide
Slide operation is similar to the front up-down operation.

Front Passenger's Power Seat (DPMS)
Power is provided at all times through fuses 3 and 5 (in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box) to the front passenger's power seat adjustment switch.
