Power Seat Controls - 2-Way: Testing: Motor

  1. Disconnect motor leads from circuit. Connect 12 volts to motor, and motor should run in one direction, reverse connection and motor should run in opposite direction. If motor does not run, replace motor. Before replacing motor be sure seat is not stuck.
  2. If seat is stuck in position, loosen motor mounting screws to eliminate possibility of binding. Check tracks and drive mechanism for foreign material. If motor still will not run after making sure seat is free to move on tracks, replace motor. If motor runs in both directions, replace gear in regulator gear box.
