Installation Guide (Workshop / DIY)

Basic replacement steps for experienced mechanics or competent DIYers:

  1. Disconnect the vehicle battery (negative terminal) to prevent short circuits and airbag faults.
  2. Carefully remove the seat trim or bezel covering the switch; use trim tools to avoid damage.
  3. Unplug the electrical connector from the switch and check the plug for corrosion or damaged pins.
  4. Remove the fixing screws or clips holding the switch in place and extract the old unit.
  5. Fit the new switch, secure fasteners, reconnect the electrical plug, and reassemble trim.
  6. Reconnect the battery and test all seat adjustment functions to confirm correct installation.

Practical Tips

  • Inspect the connector and wiring harness for damage while the switch is removed.
