GENERAL
The power seat can be adjusted in 6 different direc-
tions (Fig. 1). The control switch is on the lower out-
board side of the seat.
The front lever on the switch raises or lowers (tilts)
the front of the seat cushion. The center lever raises
or lowers the complete seat by moving the switch up
or down. The center lever also moves the seat for-
ward or rearward by moving the switch forward or
rearward. The rear lever raises or lowers (tilts) the
back of the seat cushion.
There are 3 reversible motors that operate the
power seat. The front and rear of the seat are oper-
ated by different motors. They can be raised or low-
ered independently of each other. Moving the center
position seat switch to either the UP or DOWN posi-
tion, runs both the front and rear motors at the same
time.
The forward-rearward motor is operated by the
center position seat switch. When the switch is held
in the FORWARD position, battery voltage is applied
through the switch contacts to pin S3 and the for-ward-rearward motor. The motor is grounded
through pin S4 and the contacts of the back switch to
pin 2 and to ground. The motor runs to drive the seat
forward until the switch is released.
With the switch in the REAR position, pin S4 re-
ceives battery voltage and pin S3 is grounded. This
reversed polarity causes the motor to run in the op-
posite direction and drive the seat backward.
The front motor works in a similar way when the
front height switch is operated.
To raise the entire seat, the center position seat
switch is held in the UP position. This applies bat-
tery voltage to both pins S1 and S5 and the front and
rear motors. Pins S2 and S6 are grounded through
the down switches and the lower switch. Both motors
run to drive the entire seat up. A similar action oc-
curs to move the entire seat down.
Each motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker
to protect it from overload. Consecutive or frequent
resetting must not be allowed to continue. Make nec-
essary repairs.
DIAGNOSIS
Refer to Group 8W-Wiring Diagrams for a complete
circuit diagram.
Before any testing is attempted the battery should
be fully charged and all connections and pins cleaned
and tightened to insure proper continuity and
grounds.
With the dome light on, apply switch in direction
of the failure. If the dome light dims, the seat may
be jamming. Check for binding. If the dome light
does not dim, then proceed with the following electri-
cal tests.
SEAT MOTOR ASSEMBLY
²Position seat switch to move all 3 seat motors. The
seat should move in all directions. If not, go to No
Seat Motors Operate. If one or more motors operate,
refer to switch testing.
Test seat switch. If OK, replace defective motor.
NO SEAT MOTORS OPERATE
Circuit breaker installed.
²Probe 30 amp circuit breaker, cavity #16 on fuse
panel. If battery voltage is present, replace circuit
breaker.

²Remove switch mounting screws and measure volt-
age at red wire at switch. Meter should read battery
voltage. If not, repair open to circuit breaker.
²Measure resistance at black wire at switch. Meter
should read zero ohms. If OK, replace switch. If not,
repair open to ground.
SWITCH TESTING
POWER SEAT MOTOR REPLACEMENT
(1) Disconnect power seat wire harness at motor.
(2) Remove bolts attaching seat frame to floor pan
and remove seat.
(3) Disconnect motor ground wire.
CAUTION: Take care to avoid excessive bending of
the 3 drive cables when removing/installing the mo-
tor assembly.
(4) Remove screws attaching motor assembly to
seat frame and remove motor assembly and mount-
ing spacers (Fig. 3).(5) To install power seat motor, reverse the re-
moval procedures.

WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACEMENT...... 9
DESCRIPTION
All XJ vehicles, equipped with power windows,
have a cable driven window regulator system. A per-
manent magnet motor moves each power window.
Each motor raises or lowers the glass when voltage
is supplied to the motor. The direction the motor
turns depends on the polarity of the supply voltage.
The control switches control the supply voltage polar-
ity.
With the ignition switch in the ON position voltage
from the 60 amp fuse in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter is applied through the power window circuit
breaker. Power then goes to the master switch termi-
nal BY and to the passenger's window switches.
When the driver's window switch is moved UP, the
contacts close a current path to:
²terminal DV
²driver's side front window motor
²terminal CV
²the DOWN contact of the driver's side front win-
dow to ground.
The motor then moves the glass up.
Current flows in a similar way when the UP con-
tact in one of the passenger's window switches is
closed. Current flow through the passenger's window
motors must go through the driver's and the passen-
ger's window switches before it reaches ground.
Each motor is protected by a built-in circuit
breaker. If a window switch is held on too long with
the window obstructed or after the window is fully
up or down, the circuit breaker opens the circuit. The
circuit breaker resets automatically as it cools. Do
not allow frequent or consecutive resetting of the cir-
cuit breaker to continue.
DIAGNOSIS (Figs. 1 and 2)
For information concerning wiring or connectors,
refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
NO WINDOWS OPERATE
²Measure voltage at power window feed connector
at fuse panel. Meter should read battery voltage. If
not, replace 60 amp fuse in Power Distribution Cen-
ter.
²Turn ignition switch to OFF and measure resis-
tance from side of cigar lighter socket to ground.
Meter should read zero ohms. If not, repair open to
ground.
²Remove master door lock/power window switch as-
sembly mounting screws. Measure resistance at BLK
wire (terminal DX) at driver's side switch. Meter
should read zero ohms. If not, repair open to ground
splice of instrument panel harness.
²Turn ignition switch to ON and measure voltage
at terminal BY at driver's side switch. Meter should
read battery voltage. If not, repair open to circuit
breaker.
²Operate window switch. If the windows move up
and down go to Switch Testing.
²Perform Switch Test Driver's Door. If switch
passes test, replace defective motors.
ONE WINDOW OPERATES
Remove door panel of inoperative window,
probe harness side of unplugged motor connec-
tor.
²Measure voltage at terminal A of connector, hold-
ing switch in the DOWN position. Meter should read
battery voltage. If not, repair open back to master
switch. If additional switch is in circuit (not driver's
side motor), refer to Switch Testing.
²Measure resistance at terminal B of connector,
holding switch in the DOWN position. Meter should
read zero ohms. Caution, maintain DOWN position
while meter lead is attached. If not, repair open back
to master switch. If additional switch is in circuit
(not driver's side motor), refer to Switch Testing. If
both tests are OK, replace regulator.
