My moms Windstar van drivers side power seat quit working. Can hear it click, so the fuse and switch must be good. I wouldn't think all three motors would stick all at once, so I am thinking it must be the control modual, which Ramey Ford here in lovely Johnson city TN said I had to buy the whole track assembly at $900. Which has to be BS.
When I was searching online for some input, someone posted the below instructions from the ford FSM. See if you can find the screw up in it.
Per the 2001 Ford Repair Manual;
Power seat inoperative - driver seat
Posssible sources;
1. Fuse
2. Seat regulator control switch.
3. Circuity.
Pinpoint Test A;
Raise the seat to its highest position, then move and tilt the seat to its most forward position.
Unplug the harness from the seat switch.
A1. Measure the voltage on the harness side pin H and ground. Looking at the conector, the top of the conector is where the latch is. The pins are labled from left to right, top to bottom. A B C D top row. E F G H bottom row. So pin H is the bottom right hand pin. The voltage should be greater than 10 volts. If voltage is less that 10 volts repair circuit. If correct voltage is present then go to A2.
A2. Measure the resitance between the harness side pin E and ground. The resistance should be greater than 5 ohms. If not repair the circuit. If less than 5 ohms carry out seat control switch component test.
