Electric seat problem

Post by orca48 » Sun Mar 24, 2019 2:31 pm

Hi help wanted

Jumped into the car today no problem.

Drove for 20mins or so and then my seat started to move all by itself.

I pressed memory button for my position and nothing happen.

I stopped the car and used the adjustment buttons and all it did was moved forward to the end of the rail

They seat is now moving by itself, mostly the recliner position and it twitches. Even when the car is switched off and the key is out.

Any ideas and help please??

Tony

Sounds like it's haunted :wink:
Could be a trapped wire or the buttons are sticking. Try spraying an electrical cleaner into the button pack and make sure nothing is trapped under the seat.
