chaffing.
2. Install the circuit breaker near the battery and then
connect the battery to the circuit breaker.
3. Attach the ground wire (black -) to the vehicle’s frame,
under the doorstep moulding using a self tapping screw.
(NOTE: It is preferable to locate it in a spot where the sheet
metal is doubled-up to insure a better ground.)
4. Connect the power cable (red+) and the ground cable
(black -) to the electronic module (black box). Place the
electronic module under the seat and secure it in place
using “Velcro”. Secure all the wires in a loom. Reconnect
the battery.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
XL-SEAT
will not run
Bad electrical connections. Check and clean corrosion from all
connections including the car’s battery cable connections.
Hand pendant wire problem. Check hand pendant wire to
make sure it is properly plugged. Check the wire for any cuts.
If so, replace the wire.
Burnt out switch. Replace pendant.
Bad connection. Check the electronic module under the seat.
Make sure that all the wires are properly connected.
Burnt out electronic module. Contact Adapt Solutions for
replacement module.
Burnt out actuator. Replace actuator.
Power Loss. The XL-SEAT motor is not getting adequate
electrical power because of a loose connection. Check the
XL-SEAT connections for tightness and corrosion
(especially the ground connection).
A partially discharged battery in the vehicle. Check the car’s
battery by trying the car lights or checking the voltage with a
voltmeter (should read 13.2 volts). Clean the car battery posts
and cable clamps thoroughly (remove the battery clamps off
the battery posts and clean them with a wire brush designed
for that purpose). Coat the connection with anticorrosion
spray once reassembled. An automotive battery may be weak,
having enough power to start the car but not enough power
for continuous use.
