Jeep Cherokee (XJ): General information

Introduction

Six-way power seats are an available factory-installed option for Left-Hand Drive (LHD) versions of this model. Refer to 8W-63 - Power Seat in Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.

NOTE: This group covers both Left-Hand Drive (LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this model. Whenever required and feasible, the RHD versions of affected vehicle components have been constructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions.

While most of the illustrations used in this group represent only the LHD version, the diagnostic and service procedures outlined can generally be applied to either version. Exceptions to this rule have been clearly identified as LHD or RHD, if a special illustration or procedure is required.

Power seat system

The power seat system option allows the front seating positions to be electrically adjusted for optimum control and comfort using the power seat switches located on the outboard seat cushion side shield. The power seat system allows the seating position to be adjusted forward, rearward, front up, front down, rear up, or rear down. The power seat system receives battery current through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center and a circuit breaker in the junction block, regardless of the ignition switch position.

The power seat system includes the power seat adjuster and motors unit, the power seat switch, and the circuit breaker. Following are general descriptions of the major components in the power seat system.

Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the power seat system.
