Third Row - Power Folding Seat Recliner Motor

REMOVAL






NOTE: The procedure for replacing the recliner motor assembly is the same for both the 60 and 40 third row power folding seats. The following steps should be performed only on the seat with the inoperative recliner motor assembly.

1. Remove the effected third row power folding seat, Seat - Removal.
2. Remove the seat back cushion and cover assembly, Outer Trim Ring Panel - Removal.
3. Remove the screw (2) securing the recliner motor (1) to the crosstalk tube protect bracket (4).
4. Remove the two screws (6) securing the crosstalk tube protect bracket (4) to the recliner assembly (5).






NOTE: Take care not to disturb the recliner mechanism any more than necessary to remove the motor. Improper part alignment on installation can result in poor seat recliner operation.

5. Carefully separate the recliner assembly (4) from the crosstalk tube protect bracket and recliner torque rod (2) and set aside.
6. Carefully twist the recliner motor (3) forward to clear the crosstalk tube protect bracket and slide the motor off the recliner torque rod (2).
