A power seat switch lets the occupant request the seat movements supported by the vehicle. Depending on the seat, controls can operate forward and rearward travel, height or seatback position. The switch is one part of a system that also includes wiring, motors and the seat mechanism.

Choose a switch for the vehicle, seating position and available adjustment functions. A-Premium offers switches for selected driver and passenger seats; one listed six-way switch specifically excludes the eight-way configuration.
Compare the connector, mounting and controls with the switch being replaced. Switches can have different terminal counts and different functions even when the housings look similar. Match the listed part number and vehicle equipment as well as the seat side.
A stuck or unresponsive control can involve the switch, its connector, electrical supply, motor or seat mechanism. Check which functions are affected and inspect for an obstructed or jammed control before deciding which component needs replacement.
Follow the vehicle's service procedure when removing seat trim or electrical connections. Some seats also contain airbag wiring or other restraint-system components that require special handling.
A switch must match the seat's supported functions and wiring. One A-Premium six-way listing explicitly excludes eight-way seats, so the number of adjustment directions is a meaningful application condition for that part.
Some switches are sold without the knob. One A-Premium Honda and Acura application is listed that way, so check the individual package and the condition of the existing knob before beginning the repair.
The switch and the motor are separate parts. A switch can command a movement, while the motor and mechanism perform it. A replacement switch does not include a motor unless the individual product explicitly says so.
One function can have a problem in its control, circuit, motor or mechanical travel while other functions still operate. Compare the affected movement with the others and follow the vehicle's diagnostic steps before replacing a switch.
A matching connector is only one part of the match. Controls, mounting and wiring assignments can differ by side and seat equipment. Use the position and vehicle application specified for the replacement.
