• Q: How to replace the front seat motor on 2001 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: The method to replace front seat adjuster motors begins with setting the front seat at its highest vertical position followed by front seat removal. Before extraction of the vertical and horizontal drive cables from their actuators (1,3,4) you should first disconnect motor electrical connectors (2,4,5) and then squeeze oblong connectors (1,3). The removal process begins with removing the motor support bracket nut from the seat adjuster while also taking off the retaining clip from the horizontal motor. The motor support bracket needs to be detached from the seat adjuster through rivet drilling. Follow this step by taking out the motors (2,4,5) from their position on the mounting support bracket. Begin motor installation by inserting the grommet onto the motor support bracket then use appropriate rivets to fasten motors (2,4,5) to the grommet. The installation of the motor support bracket begins by fixing it to the seat adjuster while ensuring the use of a motor support bracket nut tightly fastened at 8 N.m (70 lb in). The retaining clip should be installed onto the horizontal motor then drive cables (1,3) must be connected to vertical and horizontal actuators while pushing the connector pins until an audible click indicates proper attachment. Complete the electrical connection of motors by using their respective cables then install the front seat before setting it to its original position.
