Removal Procedure
- Remove the front seat adjusters as an assembly from the seat cushion frame. Refer to Front Seat Adjuster Replacement .
- Place a protective barrier inside the vehicle.
- Squeeze the oblong connector for the vertical drive cables.
- Disconnect the drive cable from the actuator (1,4).
- To remove the vertical actuators bolts (5,9), perform the following steps:
- If the actuator (4) is located next to the motor you will have to remove the motor support bracket assembly. Refer to Front Seat Adjuster Motor Replacement .
- Remove the actuator jack nuts (2) from the top of the upper channel (3).
- Remove the vertical actuators (1,4) from the upper channel (3).
Important: Place the front seat in the highest vertical position. Remove the seat adjusters as an assembly, and remove the power seat switch.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
