Seats, Front

Power, Six Way

The power front seat tracks (61705) consist of:

• A seat regulator control switch (14A701) and housing.
• Seat regulator motor (14547) and gear housing.
• Vertical drive gears.
• Horizontal rack and pinion drives.
• System wiring and circuit protection.

The seat regulator control switch allows movement of the seat up, down, forward or rearward as follows:

• Push the seat regulator control switch knob in the direction of travel to actuate the power seat regulator motors and move the seat in the desired direction.

The mechanical portion of the front seat track in the horizontal drive has the following features:

• A rack-and-pinion is located on each front seat track .
• The pinion housing and seat regulator motor is attached to the movable section of the front seat track .
• When the seat regulator control switch is actuated, the center armature is energized and the horizontal drive units are activated.
• The seat is then moved forward or rearward by the pinion gears traveling in a rack on each lower track section.

The vertical drive operates as follows:

• Worm gear and sector gear mechanisms are used.
• The drive units are located in the front and rear of the transmission case.
• When the seat regulator control switch is actuated, the front and rear armatures are energized simultaneously and vertical drive units are activated.
• The seat is then moved up or down by the sector gears.

Each seat regulator motor is protected by a circuit breaker mounted in each seat regulator motor armature.

The seat regulator motors and transmission are serviced as a unit.
