You should now have these two pieces separated. Here's a link on how it should look when you're separating them. TIP: Make sure that when you start separating the assembly that you point the face plate(one where the switches) DOWN and very carefully pull the back part(one with the connector side) because there are 3 little ball bearings basically sandwiched between those two pieces. There are quite a few small intricate pieces that could be lost when doing this so I highly advice you have a clean work table and put down white cloth so you can see all the little pieces that might fall off or shoot out (very tiny springs in particular).ġ.) There are 4 tabs around the switch assembly.Ģ.) Carefully pry on all 4 tabs and start moving them out so you can pull away the inner switch assembly Now go take that to your clean work table to start the operation on the switch assembly. Now you should have the actual switch assemly piece off the car. *Remove switch assembly from side plastic seat cover piece.ģ.) Remove switch mounting screws (2 philips screws) ![]() I actually just skipped back-probing the circuit with a load on it, and instead, went ahead and messed with the switch since I really thought the switch was the only thing wrong, preventing my slide to work since I knew the motor and harness to that slide motor is good.Īnyway here's basically what I did to fix my power forward/back slide issue. Also, I just saw the replies here on the forum and plain OM suggesting I do that. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures of the entire process as I was trying to beat the clock since it was getting dark when I did it. Hey guys, I'm reporting back here with good news. Passenger side power seat also works as it should. If anybody can shed some light that'd be very much appreciated.Īlso, forgot to mention that other seat functions, works as it should, up, down, recline/etc. So what am I missing here guys? I'm scratching my head on this one.Īctually, I have even replaced the motor w/ another known working one and it also doesn't work when plugged in and switched forward/back. And should be free and not hang up on anything. And should be getting 12v from when switched forward/back. So with all this, I concluded that the motor is in good working order. When doing this, motor moves forward/back (depending on which wires I apply the positive/negative) and thus sliding the seat forward/back. So I concluded that switch and wire harness "should be in good working order if this is the case-ġ.) Plugged connector into forward/back seat motorģ.) Applied 12v to the blue and blue w/ white stripe (positive and negative leads) using my 12v battery from my motorcycle. I get ~12.5v at the connector (in reality it is actually positive or negative ~12.5 volts depending on if i push forward or backward on the switch). *Checked for good wire continuity from switch to motor:ġ.) Unplugged power seat switch connectorĢ.) Unplugged connector from the motor(forward/reverse)ģ.) With my Multimeter, set at ohms, checked each "wire" on the connectors - blue wire motor connector TO blue wire seat switch connector AND THEN blue w/ white stripe motor connector TO blue w/ white stripe seat switch connectorġ.) Plugged power seat switch connector to switchĢ.) Checked for Voltage at motor connector using multimeter set at volts dc. What I have done so far for diagnosing is: Also, I do not have a shop manual(if anybody would like to share theirs that'd be much appreciated). With that said, I feel like I'm missing something here with the issue on my new outback 3.0R. I do have quite a bit of experience working as a mechanic. This time, I have been trying to make my driver side power seat "forward/reverse" to work. It's got a few issues I've been slowly fixing, mostly just maintenance though (Drive belt, pulley, pulley tensioner, spark plugs, etc). Just purchased my 05' Outback 3.0R a couple weeks ago.
