Bypass a Recliner Motor Switch - Get Your Recliner Moving Again

- If you can't get your recliner moving, the switch might be broken. If it is, this method will get it moving until you can get a new switch.
Note: if the motor side 5 pin DIN connector is male, just flip the jumper wire locations I show here.
Above all: Be safe! If you're not comfortable with 120VAC / 24VDC circuits, reach out to a licensed electrician or recliner service provider.
Bro I don’t know who you are… but not all heroes wear capes. Some have the exact video you need on TH-cam to fix a potentially expensive issue. Thank you good sir. If I knew who you were I would buy you a beer or other alcoholic beverage of your choice… or whatever drink you’re into :). Thank you sir.
My recliner was stuck in the up position and this excellent video help me eliminate the motor, the wiring harness, and the power supply. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for this. I just had both of my recliners stop working on a 3 year old couch and they both died within 6 months of each other. If I plug the power supply in, the light on the power supply immediately goes out as if there's a short somewhere. I then pulled the 5-pin plug that goes to the switches and the power supply will stay on and not go out (leading me to believe there is a short in the switch). I then did what you showed in this video and jumped the pins and was able to get the recliner to work both ways! I now ordered replacement switches. Thank you so much for this I was trying to figure out which connectors to jump when I came across this video. Perfect!
did the replacement switch work iam having the same problem? but I don't want to waste my money? and where did you get the replacement part?? THANKS 👍🏾
@@germanywho yes. I actually just made a video on it and going over how I did it. Links to the items are in my vid description too th-cam.com/video/eC_QmSfiSjg/w-d-xo.html
Exactly as you describe for my situation on a Costco recliner. This Video enabled me to validate that the motor was good... off to buy a switch replacement. Thanks everyone!!
Excellent! I picked one of these up as part of an estate sale auction lot and wanted to make sure that it worked first in order to sell it. I was about to buy a used controller for that but you saved me the coin. THANK YOU!!
Thank-you. This eliminated the motor and power supply as problems.
Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for.
I have a switch on our massage chair that doesn't work properly. How about a video on bypassing the that switch?
Hi can i use any wire as jumper?
I am wondering the same thing
Thank for sharing this very helpful information 😊
My client ended up pinching his cord in the chair to the point of exposed wires. I changed the power supply, and the transformer has power. The remote has power, but the chair does nothing. So maybe Ill try this to see if it works. Unless you have any other suggestions or know what might have happened
Im trying to figure out if I can bypass the level of my electric reclining chair any lower, is that possible?
I was able to jump it and the motor works. I purchased a new switch and it didn’t work. I figured that maybe the new switch was bad so I ordered another but again, no go. What do you think is going on?
Mine is a 7-pin connector. Any help is appreciated and I have a picture of it.
Did you use stranded wires for the jumpers and what guage? Thank you
Thanks for posting really helped 🎉
Thanks for the video. Can any five pin remote work on any five pin chair?
Where did you find the schematic for the 5 pin din identification?
Hi my remote wire was detached from its board can you capture the wires connection from remote side
Interesting thank you. Lol Dad and I are looking at this now
Do you know how to disassembly that motor? I guess internal relay is broken.
Do you have a circuit diagram?
Hi Saul, this video helped me with my issue. Thanks.
and khe key offe
Hey look can u tell me 9n a modld 3513 the green wire with fiuse witch pronge on the male receptacle on the chair if the ground is the bottom pronge?
Hi my remote wire was detached from its board can you capture the wires connection from remote side
SO IF THE SWITCH IS BAD WHEN YOU HAVE IT PLUGGED UP RIGHT DO THE GREEN LIGHT ON POWER SUPPLY GO OUT?????
How do you make the motor go with the opposite direction
Do you know of a way to increase/decrease the speed of these motors?
Thank you. Exactly solved the problem.

So I pulled Okin lift chair motor out... I put wires in like described. Not get getting anything. It does have solid power. Unless I'm doing it wrong... Thoughts... What are you ground it to. The video doesn't show clearly...
My recliner has control buttons located on the armrest cup holder. The led lighting, USB, and headrest control works but the recliner button does not. Is it a to/from connection to the button in the armrest?
check the swivel pins mine were to tight.
So I bought a jumper wire set and tried several of them with no results. Does this mean the motor is shot?
Hey do you think you could help me find where some wires go on our chair. They fell out when we moved it. It looks like it’s from a motor like the one in this video
Gracias amigo me ayudó mucho tu video.
Ok I got it to open, which i actually wanted to keep it closed. So now how do we reverse this role?
Jumper from Hot (Pin 1) to Pin 3. Jumper from Pin 2 to Ground. Observe which direction it goes. If it goes in the wrong direction, then reverse it and do Jumper Pin 1 (Hot) to Pin 2. Jumper from Pin 3 to Ground.
@@Charlax21 thanks so much had same problem wanted to go other direction. Got it great? Great ?Awesome answer. Thanks again
@@Charlax21exactly what I needed, thanks!
My unit has two motors and a controller box. Pin 1 to 3 and 2 to ground moved the back motor. Pin 4 to ground moved the bottom motor. However, moving pin 1 to 2 and 3 to ground didn’t change the direction. Any suggestions?
Hello Survivor I am making a diy router table with a drill & I don't have a slid rail. I just have this recliner deal I snatched off a sofa in the boonies to flip. Never did flip so I will be using the to rais the drill as is my router do trim custom crown trim.
I was thinking maybe splice cable to a DC v 12 /9 really ill just be lowering it few times to change out bits. Thank u for video Happy 2022
Thank very good trick and useful to fix stuck recliner
My seat works one way. I put jumpers and nothing happens. Now the chair is in the supine position.
I can't fine what I want on Amazon no were..I need one just like what they showed in this video my slide arm is only 8" long.
Thank you Saul! Very helpful!
Hi my remote wire was detached from its board can you capture the wires connection from remote side
What if you black connector to your power supply comes loose and your red connector still connected i had this happen how do I fix that
What gauge wire did you use?
Can I wire DIRECT TO DC power without using the ac power cord?? I'm wanting to power the recliner in my RV from my 12 volt system.
You should already have a battery back up in the power supply. It’s usually on the side with a couple of 9 V batteries you could wire a battery power supply into the side of the power supply without any difficulty.
@@danieldorchester5221 thanks have a BLESSED Memoria weekend l
Tried this at first it was working and then I think I did something wrong and there was a spark and then it no longer worked do I need to replace the motor now?
The green wire hot attaches to witch mail pronge on the plug in if ground is positioned on bottom
On a modle 3513
The 1 with the fuse holder
Put

Good job
anyone have a 7 pin din connector diagram
Not really explaining it
Perfect. Thx
Hi. I have an Okin JLDQ - 1A actuator. I can test the motor is OK and I know the switch is working buy something it preventing the motor from working. Power is getting to the actuator board but I am stumped after that and your 5 din connector video works differently to my model actuator. If it was OK with your I'd ask for advice. I created a document that explains everything with images. Anyway if you can PM me I would be grateful. Thanks.
A mi sillon le falta el cable de poder
Y no encuentro en ninguna parte el reemplazo
Como puedo adaptar uno
Me ayudas por favor
Anyone do a 7 pin?
wonderful thank you so much
How do i get it back in again?
Didn't work for me. My motor must be shot
Where did the purple wires come from?
Any small wire will do. A metal paper clip (with no fancy coating) will work just as well if you have no wires.
@@michaeltree5469 Won't you get shocked, using a paper clip with no coating? 🤔
@@gs2628 most cases this is low voltage DC after the transformer which is finger safe
Friend..we can't even SEE what you're trying to demonstrate...
This is written as if all recliners use that configuration and everyone has as wiring schematic. If you have the wiring schematic any first year electrical student can run a jumper. Now as yourself how many pieces of power furniture come with a wiring schematic. Sorry but pretty much a useless video which assumes everyone has the same equipment and a wiring schematic as well.
How much for a rising recliner arm as pressed the button when looking underneath and it broke product I'd nu 745obxgn motor serial no 0645wp
My got stuck in the up position which prongs are the ones that brings the motor down
