76-5-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Seat fore/ aft motor
The seat fore/ aft motor is a permanent magnet motor coupled to a rack and pinion assembly. Should the motor seize
or stick for 6 seconds or more, an internal thermal cut out switch will trip to remove voltage from the motor. Reset
time for the switch is 35 seconds.
Two pins within the seat switch pack control the seat fore/ aft motor. Both pins are normally earthed. Operating the
backward switch applies voltage to that pin while the other pin remains earthed. Operating the forward switch reverses
power and earth to the motor allowing the motor to run in the opposite direction.
Seat cushion front up/ down motor
The seat cushion front up/ down motor is a permanent magnet motor coupled to a rack and pinion assembly. Should
the motor seize or stick for 6 seconds or more an internal thermal cut out switch will trip to remove voltage from the
motor. Reset time for the switch is 35 seconds.
Two pins within the seat switch pack control the seat cushion front up/ down motor. Both pins are normally earthed.
Operating the up switch applies voltage to that pin while the other pin remains earthed. Operating the down switch
reverses power and earth to the motor allowing the motor to run in the opposite direction.
Seat cushion rear up/ down motor
The seat cushion rear up/ down motor is a permanent magnet motor coupled to a rack and pinion assembly. Should
the motor seize or stick for 6 seconds or more, an internal thermal cut out switch will trip to remove voltage from the
