Buying a used front seat: what to check

  1. Bench test power track motors: Connect bench power to verify track motors, tilt mechanisms, lumbar supports, and memory functions move smoothly without binding.
  2. Inspect side airbag deployment seams: Check outer seat bolsters for torn stitching or repaired seam covers that indicate past side airbag deployment.
  3. Confirm weight sensor pad wiring: Verify that passenger seat weight sensor modules and seatbelt buckle switches match your vehicle's airbag setup.
  4. Check foam bolster and frame condition: Press firmly into outer cushion bolsters to confirm internal wire springs are intact and foam padding has not collapsed.
  5. Match heating and ventilation wiring: Verify under-seat heating control modules and ventilation fan plugs match your original seat option harness.
