1999 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
CHRY - Power Seats
Ram Pickup, Ram Van & Ram Wagon
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Driver's power seat can be adjusted in 6 different
directions: up, down, forward, back, tilt forward, or tilt rearward.
The power seat system consists of a 6-way switch, motor assembly, seat
adjuster, motor cable, housing and wiring harness.
The power seat system receives battery power through circuit
breaker and a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Battery
voltage is available to power seat system at all times. Three
permanent magnet reversible motors are coupled through cables to worm
gear box assemblies located in the seat tracks, providing the various
seat movements.
On Ram Pickup with extended cab (club cab and quad cab),
driver's seat also includes power operated lumbar support. Lumbar
support can be inflated or deflated as needed, using additional
switch. On seats with lumbar support, seat back remains at same
height, while seat cushion raises and lowers. On seats without lumbar
support, entire seat raises and lowers. On all seats, entire seat
moves forward and backward.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: Before any testing is attempted, the battery should be fully
charged and all connections and terminals cleaned and
tightened to ensure proper continuity and chassis grounds.
POWER SEAT INOPERATIVE
With dome light on, apply power seat switch in direction of
failure. If dome light dims, power seat may be jamming. Check for
binding or obstructions. If dome light does not dim, check individual
components. See COMPONENT TESTS.
COMPONENT TESTS
HARNESS VOLTAGE TEST
NOTE: This test will determine whether or not voltage is continuous
through body harness to power seat switch.
1) Remove power seat switch from mounting position and
disconnect switch from wiring harness. See POWER SEAT SWITCH under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
2) Connect test light lead to ground terminal (Black wire on
Ram Van and Ram Wagon; Black/Orange wire on Ram Pickup) at power seat
switch harness connector. Using test light, probe power supply wire
(Red/Light Blue wire) at power seat switch harness connector.
3) If test light comes on, power and ground circuits to power
seat switch are good. If test light does not come on, check ground
circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as necessary. If ground circuit
is okay, check power supply. See CIRCUIT BREAKER. Check ground circuit
for continuity.

CIRCUIT BREAKER
1) Circuit breaker is located in fuse block. On Ram Van and
Ram Wagon, fuse block is located under glove box door. On Ram Pickup,
fuse block is located at extreme left end of instrument panel under
protective cover. On all models, pull circuit breaker outward
slightly, ensuring circuit breaker terminals still contact terminals
in fuse block. Connect negative voltmeter lead to ground. With
positive lead, check each terminal of circuit breaker for voltage.
2) If battery voltage exists at both terminals, circuit
breaker is good. If battery voltage exists at only one terminal,
circuit breaker is defective. Replace circuit breaker. If battery
voltage does not exist at either terminal, check for open or shorted
circuit to fuse box. Repair as necessary.
MOTOR
1) Operate power seat switch to move all 3 seat motors. Seat
should move in all directions. If one or more motors operate, see
POWER SEAT SWITCH. If no motors operate, go to next step.
2) Check circuit breaker in fuse block. See CIRCUIT BREAKER.
If circuit breaker is good, go to next step. If circuit breaker is
faulty, replace circuit breaker and retest system.
3) Remove power seat switch. See POWER SEAT SWITCH under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check for battery voltage at power supply (Red
wire on Ram Van and Ram Wagon; Red/Light Blue wire on Ram Pickup). If
battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not
exist, repair open in wire.
4) Check for continuity between switch connector ground
circuit (Black wire on Ram Van and Ram Wagon; Black/Orange wire on Ram
Pickup) and ground. If continuity exists, go to next step. If
continuity does not exist, repair open in wire.
5) Test power seat switch. See POWER SEAT SWITCH. Replace
switch as necessary and retest system. If switch tests good, check
wiring harness between switch connector and motor. Repair as
necessary. If wiring is okay, replace defective power seat
adjuster/motors assembly.
POWER SEAT SWITCH
Remove switch from mounting position. See POWER SEAT SWITCH
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity
between power seat switch terminals as indicated. See POWER SEAT
SWITCH CONTINUITY TEST (RAM PICKUP) or POWER SEAT SWITCH CONTINUITY
TEST (RAM VAN & RAM WAGON) table. See Fig. 1 or 2. If continuity does
not exist as specified, replace switch. If continuity exists as
specified, switch is okay.
