Seat Cushion Front Up/ Down Motor



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.
