cle. Four bolts secure the bottom of the seat cushion
frame to the upper half of the power seat track unit.
Four additional bolts secure the seat back frame to
the power seat track unit.The passenger side power seat track unit includes
two reversible electric motors that are secured to the
upper half of the track unit. Each motor moves the
seat adjuster through a combination of worm-drive
gearboxes and screw-type drive units. The horizontal
adjustment motor moves the seat track in the for-
ward and rearward directions. The recliner adjust-
ment motor moves the seat back in the forward and
rearward directions. The power seat track unit cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a complete unit. If any component
in this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire power
seat track unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
When a passenger side power seat switch control
knob or knobs are actuated, a battery feed and a
ground path are applied through the switch contacts
to the power seat track or recliner adjuster motor.
The selected adjuster motor operates to move the
seat track or recliner through its drive unit in the
selected direction until the switch is released, or
until the travel limit of the adjuster is reached.
When the switch is moved in the opposite direction,
the battery feed and ground path to the motor are
reversed through the switch contacts. This causes the
adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction. No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged. See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the power seat switch functions
and the seat adjusting procedures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SEAT
TRACK
WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SEATBACK MOUNTED AIRBAGS. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY
SEAT OR POWER SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENT
YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MIN-
UTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
Actuate the passenger side power seat switch to
move the power seat track adjuster in each direction.
The power seat track adjuster should move in each of
the selected directions. If a power seat track adjuster
fails to operate in only one direction, move the
adjuster a short distance in the opposite direction
and test again to be certain that the adjuster is not
at its travel limit. If the power seat track adjuster
still fails to operate in only one direction, refer to
Diagnosis and Testing Power Seat Switch in this
section. If the power seat track adjuster fails to oper-
ate in more than one direction, perform the following
tests. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to Wiring
Diagrams .
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker under the
seat. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace the
faulty power seat circuit breaker. (2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat cir-
cuit breaker under the seat. If OK, go to Step 3. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the fuse
in the Intelligent Power Module as required. (3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side shield
from the seat. Disconnect the seat wire harness con-
nector from the power seat switch connector recepta-
cle. Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+)
circuit cavity of the power seat wire harness connec-
tor for the power seat switch. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
power seat circuit breaker under the seat as
required. (4) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the power seat wire harness connector
for the power seat switch and a good ground. There
should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK,
repair the open ground circuit to ground as required. (5) Test the power seat switch. Refer to Diagnosis
and Testing Power Seat Switch in this section. If
the switch tests OK, test the circuits of the power
seat wire harness between the inoperative power seat
track adjuster motor and the power seat switch for
shorts or opens. If the circuits check OK, replace the
faulty power seat track unit. If the circuits are not
OK, repair the power seat wire harness as required.

WIRING DIAGRAM
INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING
DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are
designed to provide information regarding the vehi-
cles wiring content. In order to effectively use the
wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important
to understand all of their features and characteris-
tics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+)
side of the circuit is placed near the top of the page,
and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near
the bottom of the page (Fig. 1).
All switches, components, and modules are shown
in the at rest position with the doors closed and the
key removed from the ignition (Fig. 2).Components are shown two ways. A solid line
around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indi-
cates that the component is being shown is not com-
plete. Incomplete components have a reference
number to indicate the page where the component is
shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made
on the diagrams to represent components and wiring
as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short
piece of wire is treated the same as a long one. In
addition, switches and other components are shown
as simply as possible, with regard to function only.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wir-
ing diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world (Fig. 3).
RS8W-01 WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION8W-01-1

DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric
code to identify the wire and it's function. To identify
which circuit code applies to a system, refer to the
Circuit Identification Code Chart. This chart shows
the main circuits only and does not show the second-
ary codes that may apply to some models.

DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice dia-
grams that are not shown in their entirety some-
where else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the dia-
gram pages.
