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.

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
