Fig. 16-140 Checking Feed Circuit Continuity
2. With a jumper wire, energize armature feed
and one of the field feeds.
3. If motor does not operate, it is defective.
Check the other motor field feed in same manner.
h. Checking Wire Between Solenoid and Switch
1. D i s e n g a g e h a r n e s s connector from
transmission.
2. Connect one light tester lead to end of har-
ness wire being tested and ground other lead.
3. Operate switch to energize wire being
tested. If tester does not light, there is no current
at end of wire. Failure is caused by an open or
short circuit between end of wire and switch.
i. Checking Solenoid
1. Check solenoid ground strap attachment for
proper ground.
2. Energize solenoid being checked with jumper
wire.
NOTE: If solenoid is functioning, a "click"
should be heard when solenoid plunger operates
"in'* and "out".
CAUTION: To prevent damaging solenoid,
do not energize solenoid for more than one
minute.
3. With solenoid energized, actuate seat control
switch to energize adjuster motor.
4. If adjusters do not operate, and there is no
mechanical failure in seat unit, solenoid is
defective.
j . Three-Way Jumper Wire for Checking
Seat Switch
To make jumper wire, obtain two pieces of #12
gage wire, each 4-1/2 inches long. Join one end
of each wire as shown in Fig. 16-140. The joined
end can be inserted in the feed location in the
switch block; one of the remaining ends can be
inserted into one of the field locations in the
switch block; the other end can be inserted into
one of the solenoid locations.
IMPORTANT: To obtain a seat movement
using a 3-way jumper wire at switch block,
the switch feed location, one of the motor field
wire locations and one of the solenoid locations
must be connected.
On Bodies with Switch in Seat Side Panel:
1. To raise front edge of seat, place jumper in
locations 1, 6 and 5.
2. To lower front edge of seat, place jumper
in locations 1, 3 and 5.
3. To raise rear edge of seat, place jumper in
locations 1, 6 and 4.
4. To lower rear edge of seat, place jumper in
locations 1, 3 and 4.
5. To move seat forward, place jumper in lo-
cations 1, 2 and 6.
6. To move seat rearward, place jumper in lo-
cations 1, 3 and 2.
On Bodies with Switch in Arm Rest:
1. To raise front edge of seat, place jumper in
locations 1, 3 and 5.
2. To lower front edge of seat, place jumper in
locations 1, 6 and 5.
3. To raise rear edge of seat, place jumper in
locations 1, 3 and 4.
4. To lower rear edge of seat, place jumper in
locations 1, 6 and 4.
5. To move seat forward place jumper in lo-
cations 1, 3 and 2.
6. To move seat rearward, place jumper in
locations 1, 6 and 2.
105. Typical Electrical Failures
of Six-Way Seat Circuits
Typical failures and corrections are listed on
the Diagnosis Chart on page 16-122 to assist in
eliminating electrical failures in the six-way
electric seat circuit.
