# W/60 MEMORY SEAT AG3 LOSS OF POSITION (NEW SERVICE MOTOR)

#### SUBJECT: MEMORY SEAT (AG3) - LOSS OF POSITION - NEW SERVICE MOTOR

#### MODELS AFFECTED: 1985-90 PARK AVENUE/ULTRA MODELS

#### CONDITION:

---------- The memory seat may lose horizontal position on recall. Position loss is usually between 112 inch to 2 inches per recall. This may occur with the seat empty or occupied.

#### CAUSE:

------- Grease, used in the horizontal flexshaft cover to quiet audible noise, is leaking into the horizontal drive motor. This causes a distorted signal from the motor to the memory module. The distorted signal causes the memory module to stop horizontal recall motion early.

#### CORRECTION:

------------ Replace the outboard horizontal flexshaft and cover assembly, part number 20515599. This assembly must not be re-greased. The grease is not required for lubrication. Replace the horizontal drive motor, part number 20560003.

#### NOTE: If the service cable assembly is not available, the original flexshaft and cover may be re-used if they are thoroughly degreased. Reusing the old cover is not recommended as regular practice, since excessive horizontal operation noise may result.

Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
